Lefler was acquired by the Senators from a minor league team in early September 1924, and his bat helped the team during its stretch run to the AL Pennant. I believe this very scarce card is the only card issued of Lefler during his playing days.

Great card, Val, Lefler is one of the wonderful stories of that amazing season. I knew his niece in the late 1970s.
