Default Zeenuts as embarrassing art

I thought for my post I would narrow things down to just my favorite raw goofy, awkward, unfortunate pose Zeenut cards.

The 1913 Leard captures the classic Tinkerbell cross handed bunting stance.

The 1914 of Arbogast has that pained, disappointed look of having just been called out on strikes.

Fisher is showboating for the camera, as all good catchers do.

Brown in his 1916 card has a very elaborate hideaway pitching windup, which unfortunately seems to come at the end of his stride.

Both Downs and High just got a piece of it.

The 1919 cards of Kenworthy, Conkwright and Seaton all are pussyfooting around in the batter's box.

Dumovich is awfully bashful around the lady folk.

Meet Oompa Loompas Griggs and Cox in their 1920 cards.

At the opposite end of the height spectrum, Knight must have been one elongated string bean of a player.

Baker was just a bit camera shy when asked to pose for his 1920 card.

With an obvious penchant for pitches thrown high and tight, it is no surprise Duchalsky never made it to the majors.
