Default They Never Made It On To "Old Cardboard"

Posted By: Brian (misunderestimated)

While there are team cabinets out there with him, I would add:
Joe Start:

His career which began at the very dawn of organized baseball (he was one of the first professionals and was likely paid under the table during the amatuer era) -- ended in 1886.

Also I don't recall there being a card of annother early star, Charley Jones
(who was blacklisted for demanding to be paid)

(I guess he could be in the big Old Judge set, but I don't recall him being included)
