He gave up baseball after 1919, but he used to say that one of his greatest thrills in sports was when he hit a pitch from Walter Johnson out of the park (it went foul, however).

Does anyone know if Halas ever appeared on a baseball card?

Sometime back, I was told there is a BB related item that pictures George Halas. but, I have not seen it.

TCMA put out a series of cards of former baseball players who would sign through the mail with a list of their addresses. Halas was included. This was the 1970s...and yes, i have a signed one somewhere at home from when I sent it to him as a kid.

Gone but not forgotten. After his playing days with the Orioles (one game), White Sox (two seasons), and Pittsburgh Burghers of the Players' League (one season), Tener went into business in the Pittsburgh area. He was elected to the US House of Representatives in 1908, then as Governor of Pennsylvania in 1910. He was elected as president of the National League in 1913, and served there at half-pay until his term as governor was up. Tener was the man who suspended and fined McGraw for umpire abuse, then fined him an additional $1,000 when McGraw complained to a reporter.

MW was founded in 1872, when Monte was 12 years old. It was Aaron Montgomery Ward.
