Makes sense. As long as it is also drizzling.

Holy smokes, that American Beauty is wider than most with non-AB backs! I have one AB that is about regular T206 width, and thought it was special, but this one takes the special cake and eats it too.

Peter Cassidy and Shag Shaughnessy's birthday today.

Frank Shaughnessy is in three Canadian HOF's (BB, FB, and McGill University).

Here is a photo of Frank when he was the President of the International League from 1936–1960.

Another thing I find interesting about Shaughnessy: When president of the IL, he came up with the 1 v. 4; 2 v. 3, play off system to give teams a few extra games at end of season. If you think about it, that little "gimmick" is now used to some extent from professional sports down to probably 5 year old tee ball leagues !!!

Hi Scott

Indeed, Frank was a very innovative guy in his leadership positions in Baseball, Football, and Ice hockey.

Can't ever have too many Shags! Probably my favorite Southern Leaguer. This card always reminds me of Edward Scissorhands.

I enjoy my Minor Lg. Tolstois, but Ossee is my favorite, by far. He is most famously remembered, of course, as Waddell's battery mate: Both on the field, and (as importantly) in the bar room .........

[GeoPoto]

Norman A. "Kid" Elberfeld. "The Tabasco Kid". Shortstop for the Washington Senators 1910-1911. 1,235 hits, 10 home runs, and 213 stolen bases in 14 MLB seasons. Fiery temper involved him in numerous ferocious arguments and assaults on umpires. Managed the New York Highlanders in 1908. Debuted with the Philadelphia Phillies in 1898. Had a career OBP of .355 and 7 MLB seasons with at least 500 plate appearances.

Elberfeld, always contentious and controversial, was also an important pawn in the feuding and in-fighting that accompanied the advent of the American League as a rival and equal of the NL. In 1903 he wound up with the New York Highlanders and played well over a stormy seven seasons. But before the 1910 season, he was dealt to Washington and though his play was diminished by the cumulative effects of his hard-playing and hard-living, he lasted long enough to leave us these two cards.

Feel free to show any old T206 in celebration of these player's birthdays. All T206's are cool, even plain old Piedmont and Sweet Caporal!

His Win % is 1000 in Major league baseball. He had 3 wins and no losses
