The Old Fox would have been 143 years old today.
From the Baseball Hall of Fame:
Known as The Old Fox, Clark Griffith was an imaginative player, manager and owner. As a pitcher, he topped the 20-victory mark six years in a row for the White Stockings, amassing 237 career victories. In 1901, as a player-manager, he led Chicago to the first American League pennant. An innovative owner, Griffith worked within a limited budget, signing many Latino players, reworking the waiver rules, courting publicity, and keeping the Senators franchise afloat from his arrival in Washington in 1912 to his death in 1955.
Lets see some of those Griffith cards you've got lying around, shall we?
