Thanks to a bud and fellow member I added these...super pumped for both. LaJoie is highest graded and Evers is second highest graded example...just a tad obsessed at the moment.

The Old Fox

Clark C. "The Old Fox" Griffith. Pitcher for the Washington Senators in 1912-1914. Debuted with the St. Louis Browns in 1891. 237 wins and 8 saves in 20 MLB seasons. Was 1898 MLB ERA leader. Managed the Chicago White Stockings (1901-1902), the New York Highlanders (1903-1908), the Cincinnati Reds (1909-1911), and the Washington Senators (1912-1920). Was principal owner of the Washington Senators from 1920 until his death in 1955. In 1946, was inducted to the MLB Hall of Fame.

Few individuals in the history of baseball can boast of a career to rival that of Clark Griffith’s. In terms of duration, as a player, manager, and executive, it was one of the longest ever, spanning nearly 70 years. Griffith is the only man in major league history to serve as player, manager, and owner for at least 20 years each.

From his earliest days as a pitcher for money in Hoopeston, Illinois, to his last breath, the Old Fox, as he became fondly known, dedicated his life to baseball. A fiery competitor, he was outspoken, innovative, crafty and resourceful. He played with and against some of the pioneers of the game, was a star during its rowdiest era, managed for two decades, and was the face of baseball in the nation’s capital for over 40 years. Along the way he won 237 games as a major league pitcher, helped to establish the American League, brought Washington its only World Series title, and could name eight U.S. presidents among his many friends.

By the time Griffith became Washington's manager at the start of the 1912 season, his playing days were effectively over. Nevertheless, he rose to the opportunity to make baseball history becoming the first man in baseball history to face one and only one batter in a season, and give up a home run to that batter. The feat was later matched by Milwaukee's Dave Koslo in 1955.

Posted these in another thread but should go here too

3 RPPCs from 1918 Camp Funston Baseball. A team photo and two different pictures from their game vs the Saint Louis Cardinal's 2nd team. Two have written notes on the back from the right fielder in the St Louis game but are not signed.

Hi rickalaska - How does the fact that Germany Schaefer was traded to the Washington Senators in 1909 disprove the theory that this set was issued in 1910?
