No card scans to offer (of course, I have a T206 Piedmont at home) but Rossman is an interesting player. A good hitter who protected Crawford and Cobb during the Tigers' run from 1907 to 1909, he suffered from the yips, ala Steve Blass, Steve Sax and a young Dale Murphy, though his particular brand would cause him to freeze with the ball, which probably led to the end of his career. He died in an insane asylum in the 1940s. Stories like his are the reason I really enjoy collecting the monster. These days, our heroes are a little too antiseptic for me....
