Ward was an attorney. I think there are about half a dozen HOFers who were lawyers.

Ya'll don't be hatin' on 'em.

I think Ward was the first player to play Major League Baseball after earning a law degree. He was followed by Jim O’Rourke and Harry Taylor (whose legal work was crucial in establishing the American League).

Great cards. Thanks for sharing.

For those interested in lawyers who became HOF baseball players/managers, see:

The list includes, among others, Miller Huggins.
