New Find Academy of Sport Laurel Cards

[btcarfagno]

A few others for whom these laurel cards exist but are not listed on either of the above lists:

Ted Lyons
Fred Fitzsimmons
Willard Hershberger
Babe Dahlgren
Billy Sullivan Jr

Maybe this suggests that some of the players originally scheduled were replaced by others from the same team?

Thus perhaps Johnny Vander Meer may not exist on a laurel card. Maybe he was replaced by Hershberger? Just a theory.

Tom,
That could be. Willard Hershberger was Johnny Vander Meer's Reds roommate, BTW.
