To my fellow forum members,
This is my first time here with a thread in regards to "Baseball Showcase". I'm almost rabid to the fact that I write threads in the "Football Showcase". If you're interested, please, I welcome forum members to view and read my threads in "Football Showcase".
First off, I am 46 years old, retired due to an injury, and I am in love with collecting football cards. I've been only collecting since December of 2012, hence I'm just a beginner compared to many of you baseball card collecting veterans. So why am I here. I thought about being a pain in the a%^ to you all here. LOL!
No, in reality, I have a very small collection of baseball cards. My first lot are random baseball players of Japanese decent as I am Japanese but born here in the US. I thought my people could only make small cars, albeit great small cars and make and eat sushi. LOL! Well, no way is the average Japanese man going to be playing in the NFL. We would get destroyed by the likes of a pass rusher like Ndamukong Suh, but with our build, golf and baseball seems to be where we excell at. Mind you, I've been to Japan for vacation and they are rabid, criminally insane fans of "BAYSU-BORU"!
The reason I'm actually here today is the fact that I like really old things. Mrs. Toshi said; "That's because I'm a old stupid fart" in of myself as well. What do I care what my wife thinks, as long as she buys me my football cards. She can call me retarded for all I care. Actually, she claims I was born retarted, but that's what most wives would say anyway.
I would like to share my 2 highly prized cards that are 103 years old, my meager yet growing collection of 1911 T-206's. The left hand card is as follows from my research.
The left hand card is Jim McGinely born on October 2nd. of 1878 and died in September 20th of 1961 at the ripe old age of 82. He played for a minor league (Toronto) and moved up to the St. Louis Cardinals from 9/22/1904 to 5/5/1905. He batted with his right as well as his throwing arm. The back of the card is a Red Sweet Caporal Cigarettes, baseball series 350. His stats are as follows:
Win-Loss Record 2-2
Earned Run Averge 3.30
Strikeouts 6
For the card on the right hand, the portrait depicted is of William Alphonse "Billy" Maloney. Born 6/5/1878. Died on 9/2/1960. He played in the minor league (Rochester) and started MLB with the Milwaukee Brewers and his final MLB appearance was with the Brooklyn Superbas. 5/2/1901 to 10/6/1908. The back of the card is a Blue Piedmont Tobaco Card series 350. His stats are as follows:
Batting Average .236
Hits 585
Stolen Bases 155
Thank you baseball forum members for allowing me to write this thread and to showcase my T-206 collection.
