thanks Rich
I didn't even check for it to be Lonny
 . It's not like it says it on the card or anything.....So, thanks for that clarifictation and I now know who the player is on that card. But while checking on this I did read about the trajedy of "Benny" Frey. Are there any cards of him....any reference material etc...? Thanks again!! edited to add that I guess I just did hear about Lonny passing away at the ripe young age of 99, only a month ago....

Leon, the item is definitely Lonny Frey, but I have also wondered if these are really "cards" or not. I sold a collection of 8-10 or so of these to Tim around 1-2 years ago, and I know that Tim already had several from the "set" previous to that as well.

I agree with Rhett, that's Lonny Frey. He's also on some Goudeys, Playballs, and Double Plays.
Benjamin Frey is on a Conlon card from the early 90s. I am not aware of a card of his contemporary with his playing days. His is a story worthy of being known, and remembered.

I believe the odd thing is that I was watching the Antiques Roadshow a few weeks ago and Lonnie Frey's son was on there with some of his memorabilia from Frey's playing days. It was pretty interesting to see!

Sad story about Benny.
And once again RIP Lonny. Seemed like a hell of a gentleman and was a great TTM signer for years.

Lonny
Yup, that's Lonny-- as far as we know about this set, which isn't much, it comes from the 1939-40 era.
Benny is in several premium and matchbook sets. I have him in R310, R312, and U1 and U3 matchbooks. Might be one or two others. Tim

Misunderstood Lonny Eccentric
It's funny how poeple come up with nick names like Lonny. Does anyone know how "Lonny Frey" got his nick name? I'm sure there's A great story behind it all...
