They are characactures of real players, a remarkable number of whom sound very, very English--which has always puzzled me. Anson: "Oh, come off!" Brouthers: "Watch me soak it!" Ferguson: "Not into it."
Keefe: "Where'll you have it?" (very significant, because that was the last year a batter could ask for a "high" or "low" ball--it's the only one I have))(this is all from memory, so please forgive me if they're not exactly right. I'd love to have the whole set. Verkman has some beauties in his last catalogue...

The Tobins are H891, by the way.
