Zimmerman-semi-tuff in higher grades, also cool that it is the last card alphabetically in the set.

***also interesting to note, i have heard that harry steinfeldt (3rd base), was probably the best infielder on the team, but was not celebrated as much as T-E-C, who shot to fame with a period song about their double-play prowess...

"Baseball's Sad Lexicon", also known as Tinker to Evers to Chance after its refrain, is a 1910 baseball poem by Franklin Pierce Adams. The poem is presented as a single, rueful, stanza from the point of view of a New York Giants fan seeing the talented Chicago Cubs infield of shortstop Joe Tinker, second baseman Johnny Evers, and first baseman Frank Chance complete a double play.

1 These are the saddest of possible words:
2 "Tinker to Evers to Chance."
3 Trio of bear cubs, and fleeter than birds,
4 Tinker and Evers and Chance.
5 Ruthlessly pricking our gonfalon bubble,
6 Making a Giant hit into a double --
7 Words that are heavy with nothing but trouble:
8 "Tinker to Evers to Chance."
