Hi all. I was talking with my buddy today, showing him some of my cards (my buddy is a dead ringer for J. Ross Helm on his T206 card). He mentioned his great-great-grandfather played ball, his name was C. Harry Clair, who played for the Grand Island Islanders in 1914, of the Nebraska State League. I see in baseball reference the other teams he played for. As everyone always wants to know, do any of you know if there are other photos of him, or did he make it onto any cards? He is marked "3" in this photo, which is all we could find of him. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all!
