This is Walter "Dobie" Moore. Now THIS is a guy you need to know about. Another possible HOFer, he was one of the best Negro League shortstops of the 1920s. His career batting average was .345 in 7 years with the Kansas City Monarchs. His career was cut short when he was shot in the leg by an angry ex-girlfriend and then jumped out of a second story window to keep from getting killed. It worked, he survived, but his playing career was over.

The example from this set is the top left one below. You can really see how incredible the image quality is compared to other examples. This a theme throughout the set.

Here's an article you should read about Dobie Moore that was published a week ago on MLB's website: https://www.mlb.com/news/dobie-moore...baseball-great
