Peter--
I've also remarked that he looks much older in his T209 card. That photo was taken in 1910 and probably by a local photographer either in Danville, or a nearby studio. The other three are from the same photo most likely taken in 1909. I think, too, that since the T206, T210 and E222 are lithographs and don't show the details of his face, the litho presents a softer and younger looking subject. Hence, he doesn't look quite as old as his 29 years. The real photograph used for his T209 card shows more of his facial details, and that may be the reason he appears older. His image has not been softened by the litho process. BTW, he died in 1929 at 49. Cheers, Mike

Isn't his name Bock? Or have they been calling him the wrong name all these years? This is a serious question, no joking.

Quick question. If you are selling a crusty beat up hooker, does that make you a....nah.

Per this web site, his name is William Edward Hooker - if this is correct, I assume Bock/Buck are his nicknames: http://t206society.com/product/bock-...rown-old-mill/

Yes, his given name is William Edward Hooker. According to Baseball.com and SABR, his nickname was Buck, although I have seen Bock used as his nickname. As Val posted from the T206Society website, he is identified as Bock, although Buck is used in his bio.
The Bock reference could be due to a spelling error when he was playing, a not uncommon mistake in the minor leagues during the Deadball era since copy-editing was not an exact science in 1909-1910. The classic misspelled name is Jacksonville's Juan Viola, a Cuban, who appears as Violat on his T206 card. BTW, Val, that is one sweet E222 of Hooker! Cheers, Mike
