Germany Schaefer
Herman A. "Germany" Schaefer. Infielder for the Washington Senators in 1909-1914. 972 hits, 9 home runs , and 201 stolen bases in 15 MLB seasons. His "steal" of first base prompted rule making it illegal. Popular as a baseball "trickster" and "on-field clown", often in tandem with Charley O'Leary and, later, with Nick Altrock. Altrock eventually perfected the art with Al Schacht.
An example of Schaefer's many contributions to baseball lore from baseball-reference: "Schaefer did not reserve his pranks for players alone. According to one story, umpire Jack Sheridan wandered into his favorite Chicago watering-hole for a few drinks one evening. After tilting back a few too many spirits, Sheridan fell asleep on his table, located near a drainpipe. When Schaefer ambled in and saw the ump snoozing, he hopped upstairs and knelt on the floor. Cupping his hands, he moaned into the drainpipe, “Jack Sheridan, your time has come…” After Schaefer’s creepy warning was repeated, Sheridan shook himself awake and streaked from the saloon, frightened sober. The incident so spooked Sheridan that he reportedly gave up drinking for a time. Later, Schaefer let the cat out of the bag during a game that Sheridan was working in New York. When Germany strolled to the plate, he couldn’t resist moaning, “Jack Sheridan, your time has come…” Sheridan’s neck snapped toward Schaefer, “You Dutch so-and-so, you’re out of this game!” https://www.net54baseball.com/attach...1&d=1617968874

E90-1 Bob Groom
Robert "Bob" Groom. Pitcher for the Washington Senators in 1909-1913. 119 wins and 13 saves in 10 MLB seasons.
For the St. Louis Browns in 1917, he pitched a no-hitter in the second game of a doubleheader after pitching 2 innings of no-hit relief in the first game. With Koob, only teammates to pitch no-hitters on consecutive days. His best season was 1912 as he went 24-13 with a 2.62 ERA and Washington finished second in the American League. His debut season was not as good, at least not until sabermetrics were invented. In 1909, his 7-26 record included 15 consecutive losses, during which his 42-110 Senator teammates mustered a total of 19 runs. Walter Johnson's record that year was 12-25. https://www.net54baseball.com/attach...1&d=1618065636

Those are price tags attached to card sleeves from a well-known dealer, but even 25 years ago prices on these cards would not have been that low!

Germany Schaefer
I know this isn't a card but Schaefer was a card...
He played 1 game with the NYY in 1916. Here he is in a wonderful sweater maybe pretending he can walk a straight line before playing his 1 game. He has several BB cards noting as NYAL but never in a NYAL uni. This might be only such image.

E91-C Jiggs Donahue
John A. "Jiggs" Donahue. First baseman for the Washington Senators in 1909. 731 hits and 143 stolen bases in 9 MLB seasons. 1906 World Series champion. He debuted with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1900-1901.
Jiggs was a superb defensive player. His best offensive season was 1905 with the Chicago White Sox as he posted a .346 OBP with 76 RBI's and 32 stolen bases in 608 plate appearances. Donahue was regarded as the best defensive first baseman of his time. He was also one of the best hitters among the "hitless wonders" team that won the 1906 AL pennant and then upset the Chicago Cubs in that year's World Series. 1909 was his final MLB season. But, because he played for Washington, he was able to leave this card. It is of interest to me, as a team-collector even though it presents Donahue as a stylized-image based on a different player, playing for a different team, before a different season. (See Brian's recent expose regarding the E91 set.) https://www.net54baseball.com/attach...1&d=1618138658

T201 The Old Sarge and a Pitcher
Charles E. "Gabby" Street. "The Old Sarge". Catcher for the Washington Senators in 1908-1911. 312 hits and 2 home runs in 8 MLB seasons. Debuted with the Cincinnati Reds in 1904. Caught ball dropped from top of Washington Monument. Holds MLB record for longest gap between MLB games at 19 years -- 1912-1931. Managed the St. Louis Cardinals in 1929 and 1930-1933, including the 1931 World Series championship. Managed the St. Louis Browns in 1938.
Except for the record-setting appearance in 1931, Street's MLB playing career was over, when WW1 commenced. The following from his SABR biography describes his war experience: Gabby Street became known as Sergeant Street when he enlisted in the Army in March 1918. As Street put it, he was going off to fight in the “real” World Series. “I was sent to Fort Slocum, N.Y., and everybody interested in baseball thought it was great that I should be on hand to catch the army team. I finally convinced my lieutenant that I joined the army to fight, pointing out that I could have continued playing baseball for a salary. I was one of the first 50,000 to get over and took part in three major engagements: Chateau Thierry, St. Mihiel and the Argonne. That St. Louis regiment, the 138th, was as fine as an outfit as I ever saw, and I was proud to be attached to it,” said Sergeant Street. Street was assigned to the 1st Gas Regiment, Chemical Warfare Division. He and his men joined the 138th in the Battle of the Argonne. Street’s men held down a smoke screen for the 138th Infantry on September 26, 1918. A machine-gun bullet from a German airplane punctured his right leg on October 2, 1918. He was awarded the Purple Heart, and his fighting days were at an end. https://www.net54baseball.com/attach...1&d=1618224028 https://www.net54baseball.com/attach...1&d=1618224036

It is quite possible that Charles Borreani, as seen in this 1927 Zeenut, was an ornery ol' cuss who didn't cotton to being told what to do.

Doc Reisling
Frank C. "Doc" Reisling. Pitcher for the Washington Senators in 1909-1910. 15 wins in 4 MLB seasons. He debuted with the Brooklyn Superbas in 1904-1905. He had a career ERA of 2.45 in 311.2 innings pitched. His one almost full season was his best and his last as he posted a 2.54 ERA on 191 innings pitched in 1910.
Doc Reisling pitched a little bit in MLB, mostly with the sub-.500 Washington team of 1910. The rest of the time between 1897 and 1915 found him playing and managing in the minor leagues. It was as a manager for Tecumseh in 1914, that he gave us a reason to remember him. Because poor field conditions led to many rainouts and travel schedules made rescheduling missed games difficult, it was common for the total games played to differ between teams and for the pennant to hinge on winning percentage, not record. Whichever team had the best winning percentage at the close of the final day of the season, was the winner. Previously rained out games could be crowded into the last few days of the season, but the opposing team had to be available and teams (and players) were reluctant to travel just to make up games once their team was eliminated. At the end of the 1914 season, with the pennant coming down to the last day, Doc managed to schedule (and win) a triple header which gave his team the best winning percentage. Alas for Doc and the Tecumseh team, the league president invalidated the third game, and they were denied the pennant. But you can't say they didn't try. And, of course, Doc's 1909-10 stint with Washington, allowed him to leave us this card. https://www.net54baseball.com/attach...1&d=1618679207
