Default Was Honus Wagner really against tobacco ?
Posted By: JimB

There was a 1912 Sporting News article in which Wagner states that his reason for not allowing his inclusion in the ATC tobbacco packs (T206) was that he did not want to support the idea of kids buying cigarettes in hopes of getting his picture.
