"Rubberarm" Russell and Babe Ruth (who was one year younger) were both born in Baltimore, and both pitched for the Baltimore Orioles in 1914. The two were teammates again with the Red Sox for a half of a season in 1919. Few cards of Russell were issued during his playing career - see pics of his V100 and Diaz Cigs cards in post #340 of this thread. I'd love to obtain a nicer example of this card:
