The only Grant card I have is an E90-1... so I can't add a card.

Maybe someone doesn't know why those holes are in that card. Kids would punch holes in the tops, then string thread through the cards. This would be strung across the top of a mirror or along a wall. If you look at the holes in this card, the hole punch was punching baseball diamonds.

Here's a few photos of Eddie Grant Field at Dean College in Franklin, MA, which I visited a couple years ago. There's no plaque marking the field, which sadly is used for lacrosse and soccer these days. Also, I also visited the city library to see what they could tell me about Eddie, but I couldn't find anyone who had heard of him ...

At least they didn't ask you if he was the guy who sang "Electric Avenue" in 1983...

Yeah, Chris - I clicked on the title of this thread thinking: whaa - did Eddie Grant have a minor baseball career or something? Pretty common name though, I guess.

Frank, I hadn't noticed the shape of those holes. Thanks for the info.

I generally neglect to mention the part about holes in the card...and considering Grant was killed by shrapnel from a German artillery shell, I'm probably cautious about saying anything off-hand that would suggest I'm making light of the way he died.
