Default Cracker Jack / Frank Owens Question

Posted By: Frank Wakefield

2004 Baseball Encyclopedia (the one closest to my pc) lists Toronto, Ontario, Canada as the birthplace of Frank Owens, 1-26-1886. Minneapolis is listed as place of death.


That doesn't exactly answer your question.


This Wikipedia link shows Toronto...

I've found some mistakes on the backs of those Cracker Jacks. None come to mind at this moment. But I recall getting a reprint set just so I could read all of the backs, my plan was (and still is, but going nowhere at present) to use that and lots more to put together a biography book on the guys in T206. Anyway, some of the stuff on the back of the CJ's is incorrect. Maybe this is an example.

Good luck with it.
