Default George Leroy "Hooks" Wiltse

I enjoyed all of the great cards and memorabilia folks rolled out when I started a thread on Heinie Zimmerman. (https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=323636)

Here's the SABR bio for Geoge Leroy "Hooks" Wiltse:
https://sabr.org/bioproj/person/hooks-wiltse/
"A lean six-footer with deep-set eyes and a wad of tobacco usually in his mouth (he reportedly cost himself a victory in a game against the Cincinnati Reds on June 19, 1905, when he swallowed a quid and suffered an upset stomach), Wiltse won in double figures in each of his first eight seasons with the Giants, compiling a 139-90 record and 2.47 ERA over 12 seasons in the major leagues."
Let's see some Wiltses.

Not mine, but one of the Jersey City cards that I need for my team set that I will likely never own. Used to be Leon's (hi Leon) but he sold it with his collection years ago and I snagged an image of it. I believe it is the only known example.

Tres más - and by far the least attractive of any of the cards posted thus far, IMO.
