Why he wasn't in the T206 set is a big mystery, as "Colby Jack" Coombs had a 59-21 record for 1910-11. His lifetime career
won-lost recordis 159-110....which includes a 21-10 record in Relief situations.
I include Coombs as one of a trio of A's players that fit my theory regarding contractual conflicts between American Caramel
