Honestly, it doesn't have to be all facts about him. I'm also looking for stories about why people collected certain cards or memorabilia. I can write Pirates history articles all day everyday if that's all I needed, but with contributions I'm looking for something different from the articles.
Dalrymple was the first batter for the Alleghenys in the National League, so he has some history behind him. That's an automatic hook, so it's about as much of a history intro that he needs before you get into the collection part of the article.

Another with 13 players who were with the Pittsburgh Pirates during the regular season, but never played a game. There's also one about 27 baseball families, as well as a day-by-day look at the worst team in Pittsburgh Pirates history. All five can be found here:
