Indeed, it seems that Baldwin did not get all his facts straight on that part!

(I double checked and the transcription of the article itself is accurate.)

Thanks for your post. Always liked Hooper.
Here's some of his cards. Not for sale unfortunately. The M116 was a toughie.

Here's my W-card of Hooper. Question: I'm positive this card pictures the HOFer, but always figured his middle name must have been Edward. I see now, that it was actually Bartholomew. What gives? Anyone know the story, as to why his W516 cards are labeled "Ed?"

That ball, by itself, is amazing! Thanks for posting.
