Hi Scot
Very interesting observation regarding Donlin (seating) pose.
"Turkey Mike" Donlin is one of my favorite T206 subjects. And, this story is part of the reason why he is......
In 1905, John McGraw made Donlin the Captain of the New York Giants....and, Mike enjoyed his best season, batting a career-high .356, with 216 Hits. He led
the NL with 124 Runs. Mike's lifetime BA = .333 and if he had taken his BB career more seriously.... "he would have been a contender" ....for the Hall of Fame.
Hey Guys......you can catch "Turkey" Mike on the TCM Channel when they are featuring the old Silent Movies. Donlin appeared in 65 movies from 1914 - 1933.
Including, the classic "The General" and, the 1927 very popular BB movie...."Slide Kelly Slide".
