Heinie Zimmerman
 

According to this great SABR write-up, Heinie Zimmerman certainly had his share of highs and lows in baseball and in life.

Had they been contemporaries, I would enjoy hearing Zimmerman and Vlad Guerrero Sr. talk hitting:

"Blessed with exceptionally strong hands and forearms, the right-handed Zimmerman was one of the most aggressive hitters of the Deadball Era, known for swinging at pitches well out of the strike zone and lining them for base hits."

Let's see some Zimmermans.

Here are a couple of mine...

Nice ones. Here's one I have from HA in 2019... (pics from AH). I need to get a scanner for my new laptop so I can contribute more pics. Note how small the borders are, making T206 AB borders look fat. I have a number of T213-3 in 'A" holders that are nice cards.

Notice he's got the same snarl with his mouth in all these images.

Here’s a 1909 Type 1 photo. Love that awesome warm up sweater!

Thanks for the link to a cool article Steve...the moral of the story if if you want to have strong hands and forearms become a plumber's apprentice...Love the cards too especially the T213-3 Rob...Jerry

Best as I can figure there were two Heinie Zimmermans playing ball at the same time. Both were born in 1887, one in Denver and one in the Bronx. Denver Zimmerman played two seasons in the outfield for the SF Seals and begat this Zeenut.

Meanwhile Bronx Zimmerman, The Great Zim, was toiling for the Cubs. Here is his Max Stein postcard.

Two Zimmermans (Zimmermen?)

Posted this card with a few others in another thread not long ago... I've never seen some of the other more-rare examples of this card front that are in this thread. Nice stuff, great player (especially that one year).

some memorabilia
 

Wow, we're a day into this thread, and it has already exceeded my expectations. The depth and breadth of material shown has been outstanding!

A bat, auto, photos, cabinets, rare cards -- even a PCL doppelganger.

Very nice everyone!

33 WAR by age 32, SABR indicates his career quickly ended after getting mixed up in gambling with Hal Chase

is some memorabilia OK?

I no longer own this, but it was the only Heinie Zimmerman (and Drum) I ever did own so I thought I would share.

'I' before 'E', but sometimes 'Y'...my M101-4 or M101-5 blank back of Zimmerman.
