Ernie Shore in 1915

... that Ernie Shore (pictured) pitched a combined no-hitter with Babe Ruth? Source: [1], [2] or Google "Ernie Shore" + "Babe Ruth"

- Comment: Preexpansion version was 2,580 characters of prose, 2,580 x 5 = 12,900, and the current version has 12,905. However, DYKcheckbot doesn't give it to me for some reason and I don't see a larger version in the edit history.

Images

Images have proper licenses and are relevant to the article.
On the third image, why is the "(right)" italicized?
- I got in that habit long ago. MOS:CAPFRAG says in part The text of captions should not be specially formatted (with italics, for example), except in ways that would apply if it occurred in the main text. Several discussions (e.g. this one) have failed to reach a consensus on whether "stage directions" such as (right) or (behind podium) should be in italics, set off with commas, etc. Any one article should use a consistent approach throughout. It's consistent with the other image that he shares with another person.

Refs

Random ref check: 1, 13, 15, 29, 46, seems good.
Earwig picks up nothing.
