Included in that group is the 1912 posthumous batting champion Heinie Heitmuller who contracted a fever and passed away near the end of 1912...
Also included in this unfortunate club is Laverne "Larry" Chappell who contracted the Spanish Flu during the epidemic of 1918 and passed away that same year...

Thanks Rhett. I'm not sure if you know, but I have some relatives in common with Dots, so they were really interested in seeing his last card. None of them had seen that image before, so I was real happy to finally get it.
