Fantastic write-up. Thanks for sharing!!!

One more fun fact is that Seymour's talents, though somewhat forgotten now, were certainly recognized in his day.

"Even with his skills declining, the Reds sold Seymour to the Giants in 1906 for an eye-popping $10,000, the biggest price paid for a player at that point."

Of course, this $10,000 would be far eclipsed in the coming years, with Ruth ultimately being sold for $100,000 (some say even more).
