Nice one of the Cubs' catcher... he's a member of the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame.

I'm a big fan of Hub. My Fatima card of him isn't as nice as the one you have, Jeremy. His old family home is in Sumner Co., probably 15 to 20 miles from you, Jeremy; but I reckon you probably already know that. He was the County Clerk there for a few terms.

Of these 3, I like the Ed Reulbach card the best. The Brooklyn Feds let him pitch when the National and American Leagues wouldn't; he was held back by owners and wound up in the Federal League because he was a founding member and secretary for the Baseball Players' Fraternity. But for that I think he'd have posted career numbers that would have gotten him into the Hall several years ago... He won the last Federal League game played.
