Tom HuffordArthur Edward Butler, who played in the majors 1911-16, died October 7 1984, but he played with his hometown Fall River team in the New England League in 1910. He was not in the T206 set.
The Butler with Rochester in T206 was John Albert Butler, who played in the majors 1901-07. He was a student at Fordham and played his first ML game (season) under the name of Fred King. John Butler died Feb. 2, 1950, long before many of the other T206ers.
