Scott --what I find most attractive about the T210 set is that many of the ballplayers , although they weren't big league names, were very much a part of the community where they lived. My hometown of Frankfort, Kentucky had a number of players ( Series 6 )who flirted with the majors but eventually came back home to marry and live. A little research shows they took regular jobs in local factories, their wives took tickets at the movie theatre, just guys with regular lives ---and it is so easy to research.Most libraries have local newspapers on microfilm from the 1910 era and baseball was a standard story during the season. Plus a few minutes at the local cemetery kind of completes the story.
