Snake Henry
Here's a US-born (North Carolina), slender, left-handed first baseman who spent his entire career, like his namesake, hiding in the weeds of professional baseball. He got a "cup of coffee" with Boston in 1922-23, but could only hit .187. In the minor leagues, however, he was able to hit like few ever have. Also in Cuba, where his presence was memorialized by these cards.
Frederick Marshall "Snake" Henry was a Major League first baseman and Minor League manager. He played in a total of 29 games for the Boston Braves during the 1922 and 1923 seasons. Henry's greatest achievements in baseball were in the Minor Leagues where he compiled 3,384 career hits (fifth all time in Minor League history), 675 doubles and 200 triples (both ranking him second all time). The "Snake" could only take so much of the frustration dished out in baseball, and in 1939, while managing in the minor leagues, he physically attacked an umpire on the field after a close play at third. The assault included a knee to the groin, shoving and much swearing. It precipitated a near riot from the fans, and a one-year suspension for Henry. https://www.net54baseball.com/attach...1&d=1637846024 https://www.net54baseball.com/attach...1&d=1637846197

What a great post! So many unique and rare items. I've always been a big fan of the 1945 & 1946 Caramelo Deportivo cards. I've picked up some of the Hall of Famers from the set over the years when I've had the chance, though I've never had the complete set or the album. I currently own these two: 1945 Caramelo Deportivo Raymond Brown, no. 30 and 1946 Caramelo Deportivo Ray Dandridge, no. 175 (mislabeled by SGC as 1945, unless I'm mistaken).

You are right, postcard # 175, Dandridge corresponds to the 1946-47 album, now I show you part of the page without cutting and you will see 3 Dandridge cards and one of Dihigo above.
