Here's another HOF Rube...I hate this card (although I "have to" own it for my earliest HOF card collection)...this 1908 Indianapolis Indians postcard shows him as "Charles", even though his given name was Richard William Marquard. Go figure:

There was Rube Vickers. And a guy born Reuben Cohen who played under the name Buck Ewing.

Rube or Rube Ruth...whatever, he is looking for "a" rube, if you ask me.
