Old-Timers' Days were occasionally held as early as the '00s. The Cleveland Indians had one on July 29, 1921 (see attached image). It appears that 1920-style uniforms were provided for most of the attendees. Glasscock wasn't at that event, but perhaps the team continued having it through the '20s. Jack Glasscock played for the Cleveland National League team for the first 5 1/2 seasons of his major league career, beginning in 1879.
