T-206 cards and their stories....
I really enjoy doing research on T206 cards I have, to know the story of the man's life. Makes collecting more enjoyable for me. Here are three examples:
Tommy Leach - Pittsburg.
- First hit in Wolrd Series history (off Cy Young).
- First run scored in WS History.
- Still holds the record for triples in a single WS (4).
Neal Ball - Cleveland.
- Turned the first Unassisted Triple Play in MLB history
Harry Lumley - Brooklyn
- He and Ralph Kiner are the only two players to lead their league in HR in their first season.
T206 commons to most, but there are stories about these players that are very interesting.
Note: New here, but I'm on Blowout and been collecting for years. Now, my focus is on vintage and pre-war.
