Question about 1917 Zee-Nut player (Sullivan)

[Archive]

Posted By: Mr. Zee-Nut

A fellow Ebay member saw me bidding on some Zee-Nuts and shot me this question about a player in the 1917 set. I'm still a bit of a PCL novice, but I figured someone on the board might be able to help?

Thanks,

THE QUESTION:

"I'm guessing from your member ID that you're a fan of the Pacific Coast League, so I'm going to ask for your expertise. I once saw a listing in a card encyclopedia for a 1917 Zeenut for an Oakland Oaks player named Sullivan. I'm trying to find out whether that Sullivan was William Sullivan,the former major leaguer with the Sox. He was my great-grandfather, and I collect his memorabilia. Do you have any idea, or know how I can find out whether that was him?"
