Pat, Ed Sweeney "hobby nickname 'Jeff'" played for Toledo in 1916, so that is what I think the caption should read. Looking on stats crew, there was another guy named Ed Sweeney that played in the Virginia League for Lynchburg in 1908. He may have bounced over to Richmond between 1914-1916 or maybe the printers just confused the two players. They got Pittsburgh correct for "Jeff's" 1919 card, by pop reports, the most difficult card, or close to it, in the type 3 set.
