Frank WakefieldIn the Standard Catalog the E254 Colgans Chip card is listed as "Moran", with no first name. The card has Moran and Atlanta on it. I've not seen a Moran Tin Top, but it is listed as Herbie Moran.
Roy Moran was with Atlanta 1908 into 1911, and then with Chattanooga. He was with Sacramento in the PCL in 1913 and 1914, and has a card in the 1914 ZeeNuts. I'd like to see a scan, to see if that looks like the face on the E254. If so, maybe we can get the Standard Catalog folks to list that as Roy Moran.
Roy's major league career consisted of 7 games with the Washington Senators during the last 3 weeks of the 1912 season. He played left field, had 2 hits in 13 at bats, walked 8 times, and was 3 for 3 stealing bases. He'd been pretty fun to have in Statis Pro Baseball!
I'll dig out a Moran E254 to post...
Thanks.
