Nice Triple Crowns everyone. It is nice that these three sets have completely different images for a player, unlike, for example, the E90/E92/E101/E102/E105 etc. pool of shared images.
Here is another Tobacco trio, this time featuring Beals Becker. In the previous Triple Crown of Leifield the T206 I showed is the favorite image from the 3 sets. In this one of Becker the T207 is the king in my eyes. Brian

Big John "Larry" McLean, at 6-feet-5 inches and nearly 230 pounds, was a huge character. You'll find his SABR write-up quite interesting, check it out.....

Great idea for a thread!
I’m going to hit the scanner soon and post my Triple Crowns! Oddly I don’t have as many T206 as I do T207. I made up for it with a couple sets of T205. Looking forward to seeing more posts in this thread!

Thanks Brian...the more the merrier!
I was contacted by John S. about Cy Barger being in all three sets, so I have updated the original post. Now there are 71 players that have 3 crowns on their head. Brian

Herman Schaefer
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. Schaefer was 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. https://www.net54baseball.com/attach...1&d=1620470365 https://www.net54baseball.com/attach...1&d=1620470375 https://www.net54baseball.com/attach...1&d=1620470386

To me, this seems a fun idea for a thread. Thank you all for your posts.
https://www.net54baseball.com/attach...1&d=1620492201 Bill James' Historical Baseball Abstract's first edition had a page entitled Ed Who. Ed pitched about the best WS game until Carl Erskine and then Don Larson. Ed had 2 complete game wins in a double header as the Cubs were trying to win the pennant in 1908. During his career, his innings pitched each season was greater than the sum of hits allowed plus walks; something no HOF pitcher can claim. Ed supported player organizations, way ahead of his time; I think this got him shuffled to the Federal League and affected the number of starts he got the last few years he played. I think that if he'd stayed with the Cubs and stayed in their good graces that he'd have had 200+ wins and he'd be in the Hall. Ed is an overlooked ballplayer. I think I may have another combination... gotta look for those cards.

George McBride
Pinch McBride
George F. "Pinch" McBride. Shortstop for the Washington Senators in 1908-1920. 1,203 hits, 7 home runs, and 133 stolen bases in 16 MLB seasons. Debuted with the Milwaukee Brewers in 1901. McBride has the lowest batting average of any player with 5,000 MLB at-bats. Managed the Washington Senators in 1921, but was struck in the face by a line drive during batting practice and forced to retire. Like his contemporary in the National League, Mickey Doolan, George McBride was the prototypical “good-field, no-hit” shortstop during the Deadball Era. Widely viewed as the best defensive shortstop in his league, he led the AL in fielding percentage five times, including four times consecutively from 1912 to 1915, and was near the lead in most other years. Meanwhile, McBride struggled mightily at the bat. He achieved only a .218 lifetime batting average, never exceeding .235 for a single season. Despite his meager overall hitting statistics, McBride's nick-name, "Pinch" derives from his reputation for clutch hitting, or hitting well in a "pinch". https://www.net54baseball.com/attach...1&d=1620555900 https://www.net54baseball.com/attach...1&d=1620555911 https://www.net54baseball.com/attach...1&d=1620555919
