Default A refresher course on why the Joe Doyle Nat'l card is so rare

Posted By: Frank Wakefield

Powers suffered the ultimate career change.

Powers died April 26, 1909, from internal injuries attributed to an injury suffered chasing a foul ball in Shibe Park's inaugural game, April 12, 1909.

I think that American Litho might have curtailed printing of his cards. I think kids who had his card might have pitched it away because he was no longer playing.
