Steve M.Players of some notoriety are a good way to collect. Here’s one that I collect:
Joe Gedeon was a fringe character in the 1919 Black Sox scandal. Not part of the principal activities, he was a light-hitting second baseman for the uninvolved Browns. He had, according to Commissioner Landis, "guilty knowledge" of the White Sox' intentions of throwing the Series. Banned from organized ball, Gedeon played independent West Coast baseball, causing a problem for other players who were forbidden to play in games when he appeared. (BaseballLibrary.com)
