Jeff, from what I can recall Donlin was released by Pittsburgh after 1912, and was picked up by Philadelphia, however he refused to go and "retired" from baseball to persue his acting career. He didn't play the entire 1913 season, but returned in 1914 with the Giants, without much success. He then retired for good and went into acting full time. This E270 was one of the ones I really wanted to get (I REALLY would like to get my hands on a Walter Johnson) as it wasn't included in the recent Skydash find.
