My Mr. Obscurity:

While I love the Mathewson as a possible choice, he had some fame just by being related to Christy and following him in the family business.

Most good Baseball Fans know of Eddie Gaedel.

My choice's career straddled WWII

He hit .212 for the 1942, 1947, 1948, & 1949 Tigers
played in a total of 61 games with 137 ABs zero homers.

He never had a card produced during his career.

Obscure? Check
Mediocre Career? Check

His one and only card was produced 46 years after his last MLB game.

Gentlemen, I introduce Harvey Donald Riebe

1995 Pacific - but not part of any set.

I forget the story on why this card was produced, but I am sure it is an interesting one to hear.
