It's always fascinating to look at history from different perspectives. Collectors know of Donlin as some cardboard figure we look at on one of his many baseball cards. All we really know about him are his stats, and whatever stories have been handed down to us. And I assume there is no footage of his career either.

But the bio on the back of his T207 was written contemporaneous with his career, and whoever wrote it certainly had seen him play. It makes you wonder how many other great players, such as the aforementioned Jake Stenzel (I know how good he was) have simply been forgotten.
