My collecting focus recently has been pre-war pitchers, and I like Warneke because he was a hard-throwing country boy from nearby Arkansas. Even though he didn't actually play in the Texas League, he tried out for the Houston Buffaloes as a first baseman, and was converted to a pitcher by their manager Frank Snyder.
