Default Share an interesting fact about a t206 player

As a t206 collector, I always like learning interesting tidbits about the various players in the set. It often makes me appreciate the cards of certain players about whom I previously had very little interest. Please share an interesting bit of information about a t206 player. Here's mine about Bill Bergen.

Bill Bergen played 11 seasons (3 with the Cinncinnati Reds and 8 with the Dodgers). He was a great defensive catcher. But given the length of his career, among non-pitchers he is probably the worst hitter in major league baseball history. Bergen had 3,028 at-bats with a lifetime batting average of .170, the lowest all-time average for players with more than 2,500 at-bats. With a career on-base percentage of .194, he is the only player with at least 500 at-bats with an OBP under .200.
