Fatty not so happy......
1 Attachment(s)
Never seen this series before but Fatty isn't looking so happy :(. The card is approximately 3x4. For those unfamiliar with his foray into baseball here is a blurb from baseball-reference...
"Born March 24, 1887 in Smith Center, KS USA Died June 29, 1933 in New York, NY USA Fatty Arbuckle, better known as a silent film comedian, owned the Vernon Tigers of the PCL for a couple years. The team won the PCL championship in 1919. Just as Arbuckle's life was quite controversial, so was the Vernon team during his ownership. The team was accused of bribing opposing players, and although the team was exonerated, one Vernon player was expelled. Arbuckle, for his part, complained that the team was taking up all his time with its promotional needs, so he sold it in 1921. Baseball cards were made of the Tigers when Arbuckle owned them, including a card of Arbuckle in which he resembles Babe Ruth. Main source: Arbuckle's Vernon Tigers." . |

He wound up working as a director, hit or miss, under the alias of William Goodrich. Buster Keaton had suggested Will B. Good. A few of his fellow comics kept him in gag-writing money. He died broke and broken.

Ouch
Wow - how would you like to have that as a nickname?
-"Hey Fatty, do you want to grab a beer?" -"How you doin'? My name's Fatty. What's your sign?" -"OK class, it's time for attendance... Fatty Arbuckle?" "present" -"Table for two - FATTY! Table for two." |
Buster keaton: "he was no more guilty of that crime then I was but Hearst sold more papers on his trial then the sinking of the Lusitania".
