T206 Reference / Reflections.....Tuesday Nite Trivia

[ccre]

Hey Dan,

As you know I have the complete 1st series. If you are obsessed with completion, T209-2 is not for you. I have focused on just the North Carolina teams for several years now. There are 114 total and I only have 55. I haven't been able to add even 1 new one for many months although I am actively looking. Quite frustrating!

Not yet. I've been thinking about it, but I do hope that someone will talk me out of it. As a completionist set collector, I don't need that kind of stress in my life!

I don't have very many but, when I sold my original collection in 1986 I saved the cigarette cards that I had:

TUESDAY NITE TRIVIA

Name this T206 player. Here's a hint....in the 9th inning of a crucial game at the end of the season, the player of interest was at bat. He hit the ball very hard to Right Field.
The following controversial Umpire's call as to whether it was fair or foul resulted in his team losing the game and the Pennant.

And, his name is not Fred Merkle

The 1st guy with the correct answer will be rewarded with a T206 card. To quote Ringo Starr: "It Don't Come Easy". I'll be surprised if someone quickly identifies this player.

I look forward to your responses.

Hooray! Who knew that obsessive reading about the 1908 pennant race could be so useful and rewarding?

Thanks so much, Ted, for your generosity and your fun question. I have learned so much from you here on Net54, and I deeply appreciate your generosity - both for the card and for all of the research you have shared. Thank you.

Yes indeed, the 1908 National League contest was one of the great ones. It came down to 3 teams at the end of the season....Cubs, Pirates, and Giants. And, the Cubs prevailed....
as a consequence of the controversial call of Abbaticchio's drive down the Right-Field line, and the Fred Merkle controversial base-running mistake, respectively.
Check-out the SABR biography of Ed Abbaticchio, it is very interesting.....https://sabr.org/bioproj/person/ed-abbaticchio/

Thank you, king11, for all your kind words.
