Default Goodwin Kalamzoo Bats cabinet - not Denny Lyons

Lot17 in the latest Goodwin auction is described as:

...Charlie Bastian will never be enshrined in Cooperstown, and fortunately for him this Kalamazoo Bat card more than secures his legacy. On the other hand, Denny Lyons was a formidable hitting 3rd baseman for the Athletics...

This seems to be a long standing error that probably traces back to the identical photo that was misidentified in the NYPL Spalding collection. The photo actually depicts Harry Lyons laying on the ground with Bastian standing.
