Cycle 460
Lennox Uzit I gather as one approaches the 520, these come in to focus? Here is the thing. I am almost 48 years old and am embarking on this journey that I had abandoned for 20 years. Then I’d go to the Hofstra show or the Long Island Marriott show once every two years between 2000-2018 , run into John Goodman (from the Hamptons) and he’d joke with me that I always forget my “list”. Is 520 realistic? Is 520 plus a Magie or the 3 hard Frill’s realistic? I’m not sure. But I’m diving in. Thanks for the encouragement, folks! You guys wonder about these players like I do. Is there a thread of family ancestors here on net54? Anyway, getting a bit nostalgic here; a tad romantic. I think the MOST exciting thing here is sharing this with my 6 and 4 year old. I show them the cards and they are sort of interested? Faking interest? But maybe there is a little spark there. Maybe they’ll continue the set if I can’t. Damn, this is sort of exciting.

1918 pandemic
Isn't there a possibility that Germany Schaefer was killed by the Spanish Flu. He was suffering from TB and went to upstate New York, where the air was said to be cleaner, to recover. Schaefer died early in 1919 and who isn't to say that his condition wasn't exacerbated by the pandemic. And yes, I know that the Spanish Flu probably didn't originate in Spain.

Prince Schaefer's obit lists cause of death as a hemorrhage, whereas his death certificate lists tuberculosis with the hemorrhage being a contributing factor.
It's funny you should bring this up, though, as besides Schaefer, two other young players come to mind who also died from TB/pneumonia in 1918: George Kaiserling and Newt Halliday. Last edited by BillyCoxDodgers3B; 02-06-2021 at 04:33 PM.
