Hmm... having thought this through, it is also true that at the close of the 1888 season, White was sold to Boston, who wound up releasing him because he was too old. So probably the card is a joke on a number of levels.
a) White was too old and thus tabbed a manager of Indianapolis. b) "Creach" being that his poor performance in 1888 was responsible for Detroit's downfall. c) "McCreachery" - labelled as being Irish in a derogatory manner as a result of it. So Joe's original interpretation of him being called a manager because he was too old was probably correct. However, this thread does unveil the mystery of the "McCreachery" name and add another layer to the card's meaning
