I do find it interesting those players with 4 examples. I understand Cobb , and of course Tinker was bigtime around them, but McGraw and not Matty, Young, or Lajoie?

McGraw had a big personality and was hugely popular, it seems. I picked up two charms the booster clubs of Giants fans made for him to celebrate their success, in 1904 (pictured) and in 1908. They were in the Sothebys Halper auction. (Sorry about the size of the pictures…I no longer seem to be able to choose the size of my image file to control it, something changed a few months ago with iphone?). The charm is gold and diamonds, about 2 inches in diameter and heavy.
