Yes because they say he was a so so ball player with a batting average of only .264 and 1530 hits....to me that does not seem like much compared to say a modern player like Derek Jeter with over 3000 hits and a much better bating average. I was just wondering.

So is a batting average of .264 and 1530 hits good stats for players back in his day? I may be wrong when comparing to today's players.

Or is he better known because of the 1919 scandal?

He is most known for the 1919 Black Sox scandal, and that permanently tarnished his image. But he is in the HoF because he also had 10 years as a manager and 30 years as an owner. Between his playing career, managing and owning, he had 50 years in the game. Only a handful of people can say that.

I am sorry but there is so much information that can be found about the history of the game that it seems lazy to just come here and ask if such an influential person in MLB history is worth more than an average person.

It is like asking about Connie Mack's cards values or why Branch Rickey's Cracker Jack card is worth more.

I'd say your bating average is growing with every post.

I kept the same figures....Thanks guys appreciate the input on this player...50 years in a career anywhere is a big thing so now I understand why he is a hall of fame player.

He wasn't inducted as a player, he was as an executive/pioneer. Not meant to shove you down, I just don't know if you have read into it that much as to his induction.

No I have yet to get there in my reading I just started Cap Anson's book called

''The Grand Old Man Of Baseball''

I have just found a book about Comiskey on amazon and will go ahead and buy it.

I will then read about Hugh Duffy...just purchased his book called ''The Heavenly Twins of Boston Baseball: A Dual Biography of Hugh Duffy and Tommy McCarthy''.

Any how I am glad I now own this card (Comiskey 1887 Old Judge) he seems to be a big deal in baseball and that makes it all the more fun to own this card...and piece of baseball history (A gift from my brother I found out yesterday).
