Frank WakefieldI don't have a Sutor Obak card. If I did, I'd post a scan.
The caption is Sutor, San Francisco P.C.L.
The SCD Standard Catalog lists the card as Sutor. As does Mr. Lipset's fine Encyclopedia vol 3, as does The Sports Collectors Bible.
Dennis Snelling, in his great book, The Pacific Coast League, A Statistical History, 1903-1957, shows a guy pitching for San Francisco in 1908, 1910, and 1911 by the name of R Suter. The guy depicted on the card has ball and glove together over his head, as if in a pitcher's windup. Mr. Lipset listed a T4 in an auction and described it as 'Handsome Harry' Suter, a pitcher for the Seals.
So I think the card has the name wrong, it is Suter, not Sutor. Given that, is R Suter = Handsome Harry Suter, or what??
