T-210 Market

[rdixon1208]

Hubbard "Hub" Northen - Outfielder
Led Houston to the Texas League Championship in 1910 with a .311 BA and a team leading 160 hits, 7 triples, and 6 HR.

Minors, 15 seasons, .270 BA, 42 HR - Managed 4 seasons

Majors (SLB, CIN, BRO) 3 seasons (162 games), .272 BA, 3 HR



Highlights:

October 9, 1910, During the first game of a double header, Hub Northen “fell all over himself” trying to field a fly ball hit by Nap Lajoie that ended up being a triple. Lajoie got seven more base hits during the twinbill, all of them bunts. This "enabled" Lajoie to overtake Ty Cobb for the season’s batting title.

On September 16, 1912, Casey Stengel made his first major league appearance in the place of Hub, who was sick that day. Stengel got four hits and a walk that day. Northen was released at the end of the season, his last in the big leagues.

Northen is also in the T207 set.

ScottFandango, you need to stay away from Robert Dixon and folks like that. Obviously, Robert was chomped on hard by the T210 bug. Great post, Robert. Scott, if that bug ever bites you, you might not ever recover...

A few years ago I picked up a group of backed individual photo's of the 1916 (I think) Columbus Georgia team. They had originally been on a large display but had to be cut down due to very bad water damage. Interested in learning more about these men, I found some had T210's and my search was on.

Here are a few of those photo's alongside their card.

That's what I'm talking about!!! The T210 bug left teethmarks in poor old martindl....

James Fox played first base in Columbus, 1909 through 1915. He was with Portsmouth for 1916, his last year in professional baseball. Fox managed the 1910 Columbus Foxes.

Elmer Benson was a second sacker. He was with Columbus for part of 1909, all of 1910. In 1911 he moved up to class B ball. If you see him with a Columbus team for 1913, 1914, and 1915, that is the Columbus Senators in Ohio in the American Association, class AA ball. We've just past his birthday, September 11, 1884.

William Hille was a third baseman, he was with the Columbus Foxes for 1909, 1910, and 1911. In 1912 he moved to the class B Texas League, where he played until he returned to Columbus, Georgia for the 1917 season, appearing in 28 games, 9 of them as a pinch hitter.

So I think your bigger photos depict them from a bit earlier than 1916. Benson is only there for a year and a half... gotta be the end of the 1909 season, or the 1910 season.

One of the catchers for those 1910 Columbus Foxes was Raymond Krebs... I wonder if he was Maynard G. Krebs' grandfather...

Absolutely great photos!!! Do you have any more of those that don't match up to a T210?? And that's only your 8th post!@%$!% How can you have great stuff like that and be sitting on it?

Frank,

The Maynard G. Krebs joke will fly far over the head of most on this board, for age reasons. But all I can say is: "WORK!!!!"

[Rob D.]

A few of us understand the beauty of Maynard G. Krebs, and most of the folks could (sic) care less.

Thanks for the info Frank. The folder where these scans are kept I named "1909 Columbus", so that should have clued me in. I need coffee.

Re 8th post, I used to be a lot more active on here but now just look in a couple of times a week. I lost the bug, so to speak, hence the lack of activity.

I've got 11 photos in all. I don't want to derail this great thread, so will not post them all, but here are one of two more seeing as you asked.

After Jim's comment I had to look up Maynard G. Krebs. Very funny.

Maynard G. Krebs was Dobie Gillis's best friend, and Bob Denver's best role, long before Gilligan. His signature line: "Work!" (he had an aversion to it).

Great photos --thanks for posting them. I still think Thalia Menninger (Tuesday Weld) was one of the prettiest girls on TV at the time.

When I first saw the photos, my first thoughts were that they were T209's, until I looked at the bottom captions.
Similar photos, different captions.

I'm more of a T209 type II nut, if you would, please post the rest of your scans, they would be great for comparisons.
Once again Martindl, Thank you.

BTW, does anyone know what set they come from?
Thanking all of you in advance.

Bill- Michael J. Pollard was also in an episode of The Andy Griffith Show, playing Barney's inept cousin.
