Amazing life he lived what an American Hero ! I have never heard of him until reading this , I am looking forward to picking up one or two of his cards and learning more about him. I was going to say people like this need to be in the Hall of Fame and then came across this-
"Baseball commissioner Kennesaw Mountain Landis had a very strong view that the Hall of Fame should be all about character. In the early years, he lobbied hard for a player named Eddie Grant, who went to Harvard and was both respected and admired around the game. Grant enlisted to fight in World War I after he retired, and was killed on a battlefield in Lorraine, France. He was a true hero. Grant's only real drawback as a Hall of Famer was that he wasn't a very good baseball player. He never got more than three votes."
