Default Buck Weaver TRUE rookie

Posted By: leon

I like what some of the cards say about him like the obak and the T207..since you really can't read the scan I posted it (the T207) says:

"Smiling George Weaver," shortstop of the White Sox, is one of the 1912 spring crop who made good early and stuck to the job. Weaver broke in with Yorke in 1910, joined San Francisco in 1911 and here he is now a big league regular after 3 seasons of play. He is of the fast, shifty type of infielder and a steady, while not a star, batsman. With Frisco Weaver hit .282 and fielded .898. They never catch him with that eternal smile wiped off.

I really like the term "shifty" in there....otherwise, his 1911 card does capture his essence nicely....regards all
