Not a well-known ballplayer, nonetheless, a World Series hero. He is depicted on a Tobacco card of that era.

Can you identify him ?

Ted, I grew up on the same street as a famous dead ball player, although I didn't know it at the time, because he lived several miles away.

Default "Deadball era" World Series TRIVIA: my "nearby-neighbor" wins W.S. for his team

Didn't expect this quiz to be so tough. Continue researching, guys.

His relatives still live nearby. One of them visited with me a couple
of years ago, at the BB card Show at the New Hope, PA Firehouse.

We had a very interesting conversation. And, I just happen to have
two Tobacco cards of his relative which I gave him.

Stories like this are what makes this Hobby really great.

Steve Yerkes scored the winning run to end the 1912 Series, in the 10th inning of the 8th game.

Interesting that T207 called him Stanley Yerkes. Stan Yerkes was a pitcher from 1901-1903, so I am not sure why they would have confused him with Steve.
