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.
