Default Show us your Nap Rucker stuff
I know there will be plenty of cards (please, someone show a Boston Garter), so I'll start with non-card stuff.

The first photo shows Nap talking with members of the Atlanta Crackers. The second is a cool one I found on ebay for ten bucks - it has a June,1919 stamp.

Default George Napoleon "Nap" Rucker
The son of a Confederate soldier, he once said....""You can get a good night's rest in Brooklyn. You meet more real human beings in Brooklyn. Your life is safer in Brooklyn."
......while comparing Brooklyn with New York City.

The New York Giants hired Nap Rucker as a scout in 1939. In 1940, he recruited his nephew, Johnny Rucker, who was the centerfielder for the New York Giants (1940-1946).

Ted, I have a page of Rucker's notes on a prospect, from when he was a scout. I'll get it scanned this week and post here. Meanwhile, here's an autographed index card I still have:
