Ted ZanidakisThe 2nd page of Baseball Players depicts:
Jack Glasscock (full fielding pose), a ShortsStop for
17 years in the National lge. In 1895 he batted .353
playing with Indianapolis. Retired in 1895 witha .290 BA.
Tim Keefe (HOF) pitched most of his 14 yrs. with NY (NL)
In 1886 won 42 games, and retired in 1893 with aa amazing
W-L record of 344 - 225.
Mike King" Kelly (HOF) played 16 yrs. with several NL teams;
he retired in 1893 with a .307 BA. Kelly was noted for his
"stormy" personality, so perhaps this was the message the
artist was illustrating with the storm clouds behind him.
Fred Dunlap played 2nd base for several teams during his 12
years. In 1884 he batted .412 for St. Louis; and, in 1888
he was traded to Pittsburgh (NL) and became the team Capt.
There is a mystery surrounding the Dunlap card. Collectors
have long wondered about a Detroit variation. His entire
1887 season was with Detroit, and perhaps this fact has
prompted this speculation.
No such card has ever surfaced. And, furthermore, I think
the N162 set was really issued in 1889.
