"Deadball era" World Series TRIVIA: my "nearby-neighbor" wins W.S. for his team
Had I lived during that era, this BB player's residence was just 15 minutes away from where we live here in Pennsylvania.
Not a well-known ballplayer, nonetheless, a World Series hero. He is depicted on a Tobacco card of that era. Can you identify him ? TED Z T206 Reference .

I like Bobby's thinking...someone who starred in a World Series and played for a Pennsylvania team...hoping that maybe they also lived in Pennsylvania near wherever Ted lives now. So, I will guess Babe Adams.

Mathew....Michael....Mark
Thanks for your responses....keep on searching. It is time for a hint.....just like Babe Adams and Jack Coombs, he also is not in the T206 set. TED Z T206 Reference . Last edited by tedzan; 04-11-2023 at 07:03 PM. Reason: Corrected typo.

Hi Matt A good guess.... Jake Daubert grew up near us (40-min drive). But, Jake is not the correct answer.  .  TED Z T206 Reference .

New guess...Wally Schang...hit .357 with 7 RBIs in the 1913 World Series...not in T206 but in T222.
He also had a high consonant-to-vowel ratio, but my guess is that the record belongs to the three players named Schwartz.

"Deadball era" World Series TRIVIA: my "nearby-neighbor" wins W.S. for his team
Didn't expect this quiz to be so tough. Continue researching, guys.
His relatives still live nearby. One of them visited with me a couple of years ago, at the BB card Show at the New Hope, PA Firehouse. We had a very interesting conversation. And, I just happen to have two Tobacco cards of his relative which I gave him. Stories like this are what makes this Hobby really great. TED Z T206 Reference .

Interesting that T207 called him Stanley Yerkes. Stan Yerkes was a pitcher from 1901-1903, so I am not sure why they would have confused him with Steve.
