I think you all will find this story quite interesting.

Samuel Howard Camnitz ......the "ace" pitcher of the 1909 season (25-6 with an ERA = 1.62) for Pittsburgh.

.



Howie's younger brother Harry Richardson Camnitz......I read some where that this T206 actually portrays Harry. Supposedly,
Howie told ATC to include this image of his brother in the T206 set.

.



Do you believe in strange coincidences ? Well, I do......these photos are of my 1st cousin's husband.....
Samuel Richardson (check-out the Camnitz names). Furthermore, brothers Camnitz and cousin Sam
grew up just a few of miles from each other in Kentucky.
