Default One player i'm surprised is in the M116 set
Rowdy Jack O'Conner - he was an SOB when he played regularly in the 1890's and he was a bad apple as a coach as he tried to affect the outcome of a batting title between Cobb & Lajoie. Subsequently he was banned from baseball. He somehow got into one game in 1910 and for (possibly) that reason he is in the M116 set. Not my card - scan from an on-line site.
