Ebba is not quite as good as Bubba, but pretty good

Funny, I tried to look up where the nickname came from...only found that it's the 10th most used FEMALE name currently in Sweden. I did see he used the name Eddie Thomas early in his pro career to hide himself from losing his college eligibility. But nothing on Ebba...never heard that nickname before...

Not exactly an explanation, but from the book "Baseball Players Of the 1950's":

Thanks David, that was more than I could find googling...

Scott...considering he passed away in 1982, Ebba's auto couldn't have been too easy to find?

Here is my Ebba...

He is out there, but doesn't come up too frequently. There's three on eBay right now, which is the most I can recall seeing at once. Usually, one would pop up every couple of months.
