Prior to Wagner....Connie Mack & Eddie Plank were the anti-Tobacco BB guys

......did you draw that cigarette in his mouth

Someone back about 100 years ago did. I have two very reliable sources that contradict that picture.....

First, an excellent, well-researched, and well written Biography of Connie Mack (by Norman Macht).

And, my interesting conversation with Connie Mack's Grandson, former Florida Senator Connie Mack III.
I met him at the Philadelphia A's Historical Soceity banquet 11 years ago. In the course of our lengthy
conversation, we talked about baseball, politics, and his Granfather.....including his Grandfather's card
collecting interests and the fact that he did NOT endorse or partake of any form of Tobacco.





Connie Mack III signed my A's Golden Jubilee program.
