T207
The T207 set is quite interesting in that it introduces many ballplayers unknown in other BB sets of that era. Chet Hoff and "Ham" Hyatt are two such examples.
In Post #12 in this thread, I provide a short story on Hoff. Hamilton Hyatt (as his card's bio reads) was a pinch-hitting specialist for most of his career with Pittsburgh (1909-1914). With St Louis (1915), and NYY (1918). And then there was "big" Larry McLean, a 6-foot-5, 230 lbs catcher (the tallest catcher in major league history). He was quite the character, but also was a real fan favorite playing for Cincinnati (1906-1913). His off-the-field antics, such as getting into bar-room brawls, often got him in trouble with his Management. In 1921 in a Boston saloon, he had his last brawl, as he was shot by the bartender. He died on his way to the hospital at the age of 39.   TED Z T206 Reference .
