Frank WakefieldYou rascal. I've been after a T222 of Perdue for about 12 years. If you ever think of selling that one, or encounter another, please let me know...
I met his grandson. He was clerk of Sumner County TN after baseball, it ajoins the KY county I live in.
Story goes that as a kid, he'd throw rocks at squirrels to kill them, then tie them to a stick by their tails, take them to town, and sell them. One day he goes to town with 4 or 5 squirrels, and a fellow asks him, "how much for a squirrel?" Hub replies "these four are a nickel each," pointing at 4 good sized squirrels; "and this'un is a dime." pointing at a small skrawny squirrel. "Well why is that one twice as much as the ones with meat on them?" asked the man. " 'cause I had to throw at that'un twice," replied Hub.
I have some other Hub stories. He was bitter about being traded off of the 1914 pennant winners. He was an avid politican. If you ever think of parting with the T222, please let me know.
With kind regards,
Frank.
