The jersey and cap featured on the Warneke Exhibit were clearly painted over by the Exhibit card artist when the card was created. You'd have to find the original photo to know for sure. But when the Salutation Exhibits were released in 1939, Warneke was one of the Cardinals' best pitchers, and he continued to be for the next few years before fading. I wouldn't be surprised if the original photo was taken back in the early 30s when he was with the Cubs. By the way, he was a very underrated pitcher. Try comparing his stats to those of Lefty Gomez and you'll be surprised ... they're almost the same!
