Show us your Rarest card

[FrankWakefield]

I learned of the book about Perdue about a week ago, hope it arrives in the mail soon. I've not seen a copy yet. And I wish I had spoken with Simpson before publication. Hub's letter from Roosevelt was on Governor of New York letterhead, it was just after the presidential election and before inauguration. He was thanking Hub for working for votes in middle Tennessee. For a time Hub was the County Clerk for Sumner County, Gallatin is the county seat. I was in Rotary with a fellow who knew Hub years ago, and was friends with his grandson. He took me down to Sumner County to meet him, and that's where I saw the stuff. This Rotarian's father had played in the minors in the 30's. They had some interesting baseball stories.

Hub considered his best pitching effort an opening day complete game shutout of the New York Giants; he out-dueled Christy Mathewson. He was annoyed that the next day's papers had virtually no coverage of his great pitching. Instead, the papers were full of another event that happened the middle of April, 1912... the sinking of the Titanic.

Hollar at me if you think of parting with that Red Sun card, please sir.
