Default Tate equaled by Bailey

I just thought you should know:

Yesterday the SF Giants defeated Philadelphia when Patrick Bailey overcame a 2-run, ninth-inning deficit with a walk-off, inside-the-park homerun with two runners on. The last time a catcher ended a game with an inside-the-park homerun, it was 1926 and the catcher was Benny Tate.

H. Bennent "Bennie" Tate. Catcher with the Washington Senators in 1924-1930. World Series champion in 1924. 4 home runs and 172 RBIs in 10 MLB seasons. His most productive season was 1931 with the Chicago White Sox as he posted a .331 OBP with 27 runs scored in 305 plate appearances. His last season was 1934 with the Chicago Cubs. Tate helped Washington win the 1924 World Series and the 1925 American League pennant.

I don't have any cards for Bennie (I'll bet Val does), but I have this photograph:

I don't care for or watch today's MLB, but yes, this is pretty cool.

Bennett "Bennie" "Benny" Tate was a backup catcher and pinch hitter for his entire MLB career. His rookie year was 1924 when, at age 22, he appeared in 21 games (46 plate appearances) for the WS Champion Washington Senators. Tate appeared in 566 games during his 10-year career, with a total of 1,717 plate plate appearances, 435 hits, and a .279 batting average. The unusual home run George mentioned above was Tate's first MLB homer, one of only four homers for his entire career.

Hardly any cards of Tate were produced during his playing days. Below is a pic of his 1936 V355 World Wide Gum card. I'm still searching for his 1937 R314 Goudey "Wide Pen" Type 5 card. Also below is Tate's 4"x 5" photo from the 1924 National Photo set of Senators players (there was a recent Net54 thread about this set of photos).

One of my most prized 1924 Senators items, shown below, is an oversized photo of the 1924 team that originated from the estate of Bennie Tate that I won many years ago in a Legendary auction. I have enlarged the part of this photo that shows Tate.
