Another strange thing about Carl Lundgren is that he never appeared in a game for Kansas City. He was acquired by Toronto in mid May of 1909 and pitched in four games between May 24 and June 7. Then on July 10 he was reported released to Kansas City, but some sort of dispute arose, which was eventually settled by the National Commission, and he was eventually sent back to Toronto circa mid August, but did not appear for them again that season. The artwork for his KC card must have been completed sometime between mid July and mid August. He was on Toronto's team to start the 1910 season. The saga is covered, though not in much detail, in the contemporary issues of Sporting Life.
