If you read between the scribbled Buck Barker lines, this is a fairly interesting writeup for the major leaguer who I believe lived longer than any other (passed away at age 107 in 1998). I like the line where it mentions that Hoff "is one of the few ball players who came straight from the lots to the Big Tent." I don't remember the major leagues being identified as the Big Tent...perhaps a circus reference?

Reason: added somewhat unnecessary front scan
