William M. "Bill" Joyce. Third baseman with the Washington Senators in 1894-1896. 971 hits, 70 home runs, and 266 stolen bases in 8 MLB seasons. He was the 1896 NL home run leader. He had a career OBP of .435.

He debuted with the Brooklyn Ward's Wonders in 1890. His best season was 1896 as he posted a .470 OBP with 121 runs scored, 94 RBI's, and 45 stolen bases in 600 plate appearances. His 1896 season was split between Washington and the New York Giants. He finished his career as the player-manager of the Giants in 1896-1898.

He holds (a tie for) the record with 4 triples in one game. In 1891, he reached base in 64 consecutive games, a record that stood until Ted Williams broke it in 1941.

The Brooklyn Grooms traded Joyce to Washington after the 1992 season but Joyce refused to play for Washington at the salary offered and held out the entire 1993 season. His stint at third base with Washington was timed perfectly to allow him to leave us this card (albeit one claiming he played center field!?).

1889 John Emmett Seery- Old Judge Fc 406-2 - SGC 30 by BN2CARDZ Collection, on Flickr

[molenick]

Was debating what to post today, but the N172 Seery reminded me of one of my favorite poses: Seery with the magic bat. His full name was John Emmett Seery, but he was known as Emmett Seery, so I am not sure why SGC labeled him one way for N172 and another for N173.

Hi Paul

Great collection of these rare cards. Thanks for posting all these guys.

The best I can tell you about them is they were issued Circa 1924-1925.

It's my understanding they printed on some sort of box (containing ? ?).

And, they all appear to have been hand-cut off this mysterious box.

Wow, thank you so much. I am not sure why I thought it was from the 30s but clearly I was way off. I got it because I loved the image but having the back translated just makes it more interesting.

[prestigecollectibles]

No problem, glad I could help. It is a really cool image.

Thanks Paul and Ted for your pics of these cards.

Earlier links about this unknown issue:

On the chart below I listed the players with the teams that they were on from the cards that were shown in an earlier post (post #763). The boxes that are marked with an "X" show what years that each player played for that particular team. I only showed 1925-39. Before and after that range is unnecessary. 1933 is the only year where every player played for the team that is shown on each of their cards. Therefore, unless these cards were issued over multiple years, I think 1933 is likely the year of this issue. I suppose 1934 could also be considered if this issue was based from the previous 1933 season. Although ... Al Simmons is listed as Chicago White Sox but his hat shows Philadelphia Athletics (played 1924-32). Hack Wilson is listed as Brooklyn Dodgers but his hat looks like Chicago Cubs (played 1926-31).

[GeoPoto]

Albert L. "Al" Orth. Pitcher with the Washington Senators in 1902-1904. 204 wins and 6 saves in 15 MLB seasons. He was the MLB wins leader in 1906. He was known as "The Curveless Wonder" relying on control and differing speed.

He debuted with the Philadelphia Phillies in 1895-1901. His best season may have been 1901 with Philadelphia as he posted a 20-12 record with a 2.27 ERA in 281.2 innings pitched. He finished his career with the New York Highlanders in 1904-1909.

In the years before the National League provided for two umpires per game, it was not unusual for both teams in a baseball game to choose one of their players to alternate umpiring duties if the regular umpire failed to appear for the game. Orth sometimes served in this role and in one game umpired and pinch-hit in the same game. After he stopped playing, Orth debuted as an umpire in the NL in 1912 and in 1917 was the umpire when Toney and Vaughn each pitched 9 innings of no-hit baseball, the only time it has happened.

Like many of his Philadelphia teammates, following the 1907 season Orth jumped to the American League, signing with Washington. That fortunate decision allowed him to leave us this card.

There is some deep cosmic significance to that which will be revealed on your death bed. So you have that going for you, which is nice.

Michael- It's nice to see you posting. Here's my contribution, although I think you don't favor the tinted ones.

[molenick]

You're right, Gary, but that one is cool. I am pretty sure 40% of my cdvs (including the one I posted) are ex-Passamonte, 40% are ex-Rucker, and 20% are from other sources.

[ValKehl]

Lefty pitcher Wyatt "Watty" Lee, a Virginia native, pitched for the Senators in 1901-1903, which made him a teammate of righty pitcher Al Orth (see George T.'s post #775 above) in 1902-1903. Not nearly as accomplished a pitcher as Orth, Lee's record with the Senators was 29 wins (incl. 4 shutouts) and 34 losses. The only pitching category Lee ever led the A.L. in was giving up the most homers (14) in 1901. However, Lee also played all of the outfield positions. His lifetime batting average is .242, and he hit all 4 of his homers in 1902. Lee's last year in MLB was 1905 with the Pittsburgh Pirates, where he played sparingly.
