I knew Joe would want to comment on Lady Baldwin. Another great pitching performance in 1886 was turned in by Chicago's rookie Jacko Flynn. He had the same ERA as Baldwin, 2.24, and a better winning percentage at 23-6. He led Chicago to the pennant but, at the end of the season, injured his arm, never to be the same again. He doesn't have an 1887 card but does have an 1888 card (with Omaha). His card is the rarest non-California League card in the set.
