George, it was good to connect with you again at Net54 get together last Saturday that Andrew & Ryan hosted.
To keep everyone glued to their monitors until George returns to continue his wonderful thread, here's a bit more re Fred "Firpo" Marberry. What amazes me is how many years during his initial 10 years with the Senators that he led either both leagues or just the A.L. in the # of games appeared in (6 years), the # of games finished (4 years), and the # of saves (5 years) - check this out: https://www.baseball-reference.com/p...arbefi01.shtml Also, SABR's bio of Marberry is an interesting read: https://sabr.org/bioproj/person/Firpo-Marberry/
There weren't many cards of Marberry issued during his years with the Senators. I believe his RC is this 1925 card issued in Canada (yes, I'd love to obtain a nicer example - hint! hint!). The pic below is from the 1931 Senators team issued picture pack.
