Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4") (Learn More) Bill Carrigan (nicknamed "Rough") was a Major League baseball catcher and manager from 1906 to 1929. He played for the Boston Red Sox between 1906 and 1916, and he was a player-manager for the last four of those seasons. In 1915 and 1916, Carrigan's teams won back-to-back World Series, he was the only Red Sox manager to accomplish that feat in franchise history. He was said to exert a positive influence on young Red Sox star Babe Ruth, serving as his roommate and his manager. After his playing career ended in 1916, Carrigan was a partner in a large chain of New England vaudeville and movie theaters. He returned to the Red Sox as a manager between 1927 and 1929 (unfortunately, the team finished in last place in each of those seasons). He passed away in 1969 at the age of 85. Important Added Info: Glass slides were designed to be put in a special projector that would project the image onto a movie screen (they use exactly the same concept as 35mm slides). We have taken a digital photo of each that shows the general condition of the overall slide and holder, and we have also made a digital scan that shows the glass image well, but does not show the holder (except as a dark outline). Condition: fine. As is typical with older glass slides, this slide has no holder, but has black tape around all the edges of the glass. The slide is in about as good condition as can be expected.
