Default Ed Delahanty

Since this thread is back, can't resist a chance to post a card featuring a HoFer who was playing left field for the Senators when he met his untimely demise:

Edward J. "Ed" Delahanty. Left fielder with the Washington Senators in 1902-1903. 2,597 hits, 101 home runs, and 456 stolen bases in 16 MLB seasons. 2-time NL batting champion. 2-time NL home run leader. 3-time NL RBI leader. 1898 NL stolen base leader. 1945 was inducted into MLB Hall of Fame. He debuted with the Philadelphia Quakers in 1888-1889. He had a career OBP of .411. He batted over .400 three times. His best seasons were with the Philadelphia Phillies in 1891-1901. He died during the 1903 season by drowning at Niagra Falls.
