The HoF and Walter Corson
I contacted the Baseball Hall of Fame to get info and a photo of Hobby pioneer Walter E. Corson, and this was my response:
Ryan, Before I check our photos, are you absolutely sure that a Walter Corson played professional baseball? In order to see if we might have a team photo with him it, I needed to know which team(s) he might have played for. I have checked Baseball-Reference.com, as well as our collection of minor league contract cards, and I have not found anyone matching that name. Even general Internet searches and searches on digitized newspaper databases do not turn anything up. Additionally, I did a little research, and the Arizona State League’s years of operation do not match what you mentioned below. Is there any chance he might have played under a different name? Best regards, Matt Matt Rothenberg Manager of the Giamatti Research Center National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum 25 Main Street Cooperstown, New York 13326 (607) 547-0332 mrothenberg@baseballhall.org Is there anything else, like a team name that might help discover more about him? |
