Glass Arm Eddie
I didn't think I had any pre-war items that connect with Brooklyn, but I found one with a (tenuous) connection. This card comes from the 1923-24 Cuban season, following which Brown (at age 32) went north to play the outfield for the Brooklyn Robins in 1924 and 1925. In those two seasons for Brooklyn, Brown hit .307 with 177 RBIs in 1,155 plate appearances. He led the National League in hits (201) the next year for Boston. While Brown could hit (Career: .303 in 3,127 MLB plate appearances), he was notorious for a weak throwing arm. His nickname was "Glass Arm Eddie".
