Grasshopper Whitney
Jim Whitney came into MLB in 1881 with the Boston Red Caps and led the NL in wins that rookie season. Two years later, still with Boston now the Beaneaters, he not only led the NL in strikeouts, but posted a 37-21 record and a 2.24 ERA in 514 innings pitched. In the pre-rubber era Whitney came up in, his distinctive way of hopping toward the front of the pitcher's box as he delivered, gained him the nickname "Grasshopper". Sadly, he finished his career with the Philadelphia Athletics in 1890 and then died (of TB) the following year at the age of 33. Grasshopper pitched for the Washington Senators in 1887-1888 and left this baseball card.

Here is a die-cut E121 80 Series card of Grover Alexander pasted many layers thick onto stiff, something over 1/16" paperboard backing.
