How about T206 players that spent time in prison (Jerry Downs comes to mind, probably others?).

I like this. What did Downs do time for?

He robbed a jewelry store.

"The T206 Collection: The Players and Their Stories" is a fun book that will help keep your interest. I got a copy for Christmas a few years ago. Unfortunately, I haven't seen it since then Hopefully, I find it some day because it looks like a fun supplement to collecting the set.

They have it for sale at the Hall of Fame. I almost bought it. I probably should have.

How about Germany Schaefer, who stole first base?

Or Gabby Street, who caught a ball dropped from the Washington Monument?
