Top 50 T206's...by N54'ers
Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Unless I'm wrong, I heard the first ball was thrown out by Dummy Hoy. He was 99 years old at the time, and died later that year. That didn't turn up at all?

Posted By: <b>Rich Klein</b><p>Threw out the 1st pitch of game 3 of the 1961 World Series at age 99; it was an honor as he had a good chance (did not quite make it) of being the 1st retired major leaguer to reach 100<br /><br />Regards<br />Rich

Posted By: <b>DMcD</b><p>A SABR geek would know and the NYT of October 9, 1961 confirms that 99 year old Dummy Hoy threw out the first pitch of the third game at Cincinnati. (Third pitch of first game would have been thrown by Whitey Ford, but I digress). Couldn't find anything correlating Hoy and the Twins.<br /><br />Some good trivia and, for you nostalgia fans, some sweet banter from America's Sweethearts, Runscott and Julie, on an old N54 thread:<br /><a href="http://www.network54.com/Forum/153652/message/1077088330/stupid+baseball+trivia" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.network54.com/Forum/153652/message/1077088330/stupid+baseball+trivia</a>

Posted By: <b>Pennsylvania Ted</b><p>To me he is the TOUGHEST of the Southern Leaguers. I am surprised that he isn't listed 1st (#11<br />on the above list) in the ranking order of the 48 So. Lgrs.<br /><br />"Shag"....was that his nickname for his hairdo....or short for Shaughnessy ?

Posted By: <b>Matthew</b><p>Ted, are there any others you see that are way off from where you feel they should rank? I agree on Shag & would add Carey (not even in top 50), Breitenstein, & Violat as some of the tougher SLers. I also seem to have had no problem finding multiple copies of Foster, Hart (LR) & Smith (Shreveport). Thanks for any input.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.viaboomimage.com/is.php?i=55647&img=shag206.jpg"><br /><br />Edited to say = input from anyone is welcome

Posted By: <b>Dave F</b><p>Funny you can find the Smith (Shreveport) fairly easily. I have a tough time with that one....had a PSA 3 a year ago and let it go...and havent' found another since...at least not another for a decent deal.

Top 50 T206's...by N54'ers
Posted By: <b>Eric</b><p>Is definitely one of the toughest SLers to find. It's the only card I have doubles of, and mainly for that reason. This one is ungraded. My PSA 2 is above, in a previous post. By the way, sorry for the really crappy pic. I was too lazy to scan it in tonight.<br /><br /><img src="http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f93/crazylocomerk/T206/ShaughnessyShag.jpg"><br /><br />

Posted By: <b>JimB</b><p>Danny,<br />Lionel Carter was a hobby pioneer who began collecting in 1932. He is in his 90's now and Mastro Auctions recently auctioned a large part of his collection. YOu can real about it here: <a href="http://press.mastroauctions.com/images/press/2007/Premier/April/LionelCarter.pdf" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://press.mastroauctions.com/images/press/2007/Premier/April/LionelCarter.pdf</a><br /><br />JimB
