TRIVIA....BB (card) related coincidences....tell us of your's ?

believe it or not, Lee's one of my favs.
I wrote a piece on him for Scott Forrest's website.
I also have the Conlon photo used for the T206 you're showing.
As far as what's trivial about Lee----he was a horrible hitter so I suspect he has some record there that's a shocker.
At least he was a horrible hitter for the "hitless wonders"!
I remember he was hitless while batting against his brother who threw a no-hitter.
On a positive note, he is the only shortstop to execute two unassisted double plays in one game. Horrible hitter---great fielder.

sorry, lots of answers here.
all the best, ole buddy

I wouldn't quite call this a shocker, ole buddy....but, Lee hit the very 1st HR at Comiskey Park. It was his only HR in 1910.

TANNEHILL also had two unassisted double plays in the same game.
