Before the Nat'l version was well known, most folks thought that the Doyle hands above head was Larry Doyle.
If the card had errant Nat'l type on it, filing that off of the plate would have been much easier than replacing Nat'l with Amer.
Joe Doyle, the pitcher, was with the American league Highlanders/Yankees 1906 - 1909. In 1910 he was only in 8 games, 3 for New York, then 5 for Cincinnati. His last game was June 25th, 1910... which is about series 350 time. On his way out after 75 major league games... no time for a corrected New York Amer. card. No wonder there wasn't a Cincinnati Nat'l card, either.
