Anyone know why this was rejected ?

Congrats on your slabquest. Now maybe PSA will adjust its designation for the Worch set to get the date(s) right, since as I mentioned Stratton only played for St. Paul in 1935 and thus his picture in a Saints cap could not have been from 1933 (he didn't even begin pro ball until 1934). Oh well, baby steps. Very nice card, BTW.

Nice to see your card of Bob Fenner too. According to baseballreference.com, that gentlemen is still with us today, at 105 years young.

I believe Fenner died in 1984. I have run into others that were never updated. Gene Trow was another St. Paul player that died a while ago that is still listed as living. Wouldn't it be fun to talk baseball with those guys!

You are right about that too. I have a Pinky Hargrave with the Millers and he wasn't there until 1934.

I just checked a few other guys and Marty Hopkins last year with St. Paul was 1934, Jack Warner's first year with St. Paul was until 1934, and Eddie Leishman's only year with St. Paul was...1934.

Not really--at least not if it meant I was dead too

Sorry for hijacking, but Chris is this what the Hargrave you own looks like?

Thanks for the response. I actually had a Hargrave, but am dying to see a scan of the Rosenthal. He was from St. Paul, played for the Saints, then made it all the way to the Bigs. He was a local hero here, so it would be great to pick one up someday, but I haven't even seen a scan of one.
