T206 Foster ... Is it Ed or Eddie
 
Posted By: <b>ChiSoxFan</b><p>Was wondering if you think this is the same person...<br><br>M116 Foster:<br><img src="http://www.cardpricer.com/card_images/img_full.php?f=Publications/M116/M116%20Foster.jpg" alt="[linked image]"><br><br>T206 Foster:<br><img src="http://memory.loc.gov/pnp/bbc/1000/1060/1060fr.jpg" alt="[linked image]"><br><br><br>The M116 is Eddie (Edward Cunningham) Foster. He played for the following teams:<br>1906 Kansas State League (D) Coffeyville Bricks<br>1907 Tri-State League (B) Harrisburg Senators<br>1908 Tri-State League (B) Williamsport Millionaires<br><b>1909 Eastern League (A) Jersey City Skeeters</b><br>1910 American League (MLB) New York Highlanders<br><b>1911 Eastern League (A) Rochester Bronchos</b><br>1912 - 1919 American League (MLB) Washington Senators<br>1920 - 1922 American League (MLB) Boston Red Sox<br>1922 - 1923 American League (MLB) St. Louis Browns<br><br><br>The only &quot;Ed&quot; Foster (per T206 Checklists) to play for Charleston is Ed (Edward Lee) Foster. He played for the following teams:<br>1906 Georgia State League (D) Columbus/Brunswick River Snipes<br><b>1907 South Atlantic League (C) Charleston Sea Gulls</b><br>1908 American League (MLB) Cleveland Naps<br>1908 South Atlantic League (C) Jacksonville Jays<br><b>1909 NO RECORDS</b><br>1910 Connecticut State League (B) New Haven Prairie Hens<br>1911 - 1912 Connecticut State League (B) New Haven Murlins<br>1913 - 1914 South Atlantic League (C) Charleston Sea Gulls<br>1914 - 1915 South Atlantic League (C) Macon Peaches<br>1918 - 1919 American Association (AA) St. Paul Saints<br>1919 Texas League (B) San Antonio Bronchos<br>1919 Texas League (B) Waco Navigators<br>1920 - 1921 American Association (AA) St. Paul Saints<br>1923 American Association (AA) St. Paul Saints<br><br><br>During my T206 player research, it appears that most, if not all Minor and Southern League players are depicted with their 1909 team. Is it possible that an image two years prior to T206 production was used for the set? Also, the Manager for the 1909 Charleston Sea Gulls/Knoxville Appalachians (team relocated and was renamed) was Stephen Griffin.<br><br>What are your thoughts on this...<br><br>ChiSoxFan<br><br>Looking for T206 Sweet Caporal Fact. #30 White Sox in Poor to Fair condition.
