They Never Made It On To "Old Cardboard"

[Archive]

Posted By: bruce dorskind

Here is a question that should stimulae the brain cells of our
most talented baseball trivia buffs.

Can you tell us who is best player at each position
(including three outfielders and a right and left-handed pitcher)
along with the four infield positions and the catcher slot
who played at least two seasons (between 1886 and 1986) but
never managed to make an appearance on a regular issue
baseball card.

Pictures on team cards (such as the 1956 Topps team card
or on club issued photographs or post cards do not count.

For the purposes of this exercise, let's also exclude any player
who did not play in Major Leagues ( i.e. American, National
Federal and Player Leagues).

Cuban and Negro Players who never played in the Major Leagues
should be excluded.

When completed this should be a very interesting team.

Any comments on why a particular player never made it
on to a regular issue baseball card would be most appreciated.

Looking forward to reading your responses.
