Dwight DavisYou are correct, RC. This morning I received a thoughtful email from Kyle who went to the trouble of providing a scan of uncle Rube's T209 card and he asked me if I knew it existed. I should have mentioned in my first post that I do have a very nice 209 I came across a couple of years ago. I appreciate all who are helping me find his T210 card. And a correction, he pitched both ends of 100 doubleheaders, not 300.
A note to my friend Leon: I promise I won't bring him up again here the rest of this year ... but I'm off work this week and have some free time (sorry).
I've attempted to provide a couple of pictures, and an article I wrote about him for Sports Illustrated in 1977. I think you'll find it entertaining.
By the way, all of you are invited to a holiday gathering at our home Saturday from 6-9. (How do I insert a smiley face?) Well, I hope at least Brian shows.
Here's Jesse Morgan "Rube" Eldridge.
