Summary provided by the Society for American Baseball Research, 2010-2011.
The opposing team in this image is not the Detroit Tigers as originally identified, as the "shaded" uniform number (#2) is not Detroit's style of digit during this era. Rather, this style is more closely associated with the St. Louis Browns (Society for American Baseball Research, 2010-2011).
