I have often wondered why ATC included Southern players in T206. My curiosity was deepened last April 22 when I discovered that Ted Breitenstein pitched a no-no for the Cincinnati Reds on April 22, 1898, the same day that James Hughes also pitched a no-hitter for the Baltimore Orioles. I began to read more about Breitenstein, and that led me to writing a piece about ATC's inclusion of the SLer subset.
Scot Reader published my essay on his T206 Insider website, and if you'd like to read it, here's the link:

I hope you enjoy the essay. If you have any additional information to share, I hope you will contact me.
Cheers, Mike
