Here's another oddball Zack Wheat item to add to the PC as I seek out new and exciting pieces of the legendary Dodgers' outfielder. I always enjoy finding and landing a new Wheat and when it hails from his short time with the Philadelphia A's, it's an ever cooler feeling as he has so little as a member of that super team.
I'm not sure what baseball publication this was cut out of but it features the 1927 A's with Zack's floating head top left. I'm unsure of why Ty Cobb isn't featured -- it must have been published just before he signed with the club as a free agent -- but fellow HOFers Jimmie Foxx and Eddie Collins also make appearances.
Seeing Carroll Yerkes and Jack Quinn on here is pretty neat to me.
ReplyDeleteI hit publish too soon, sorry. I collect Carroll because of his time with the Portland Beavers, and he doesn't appear on very many big league items, so like I said, it's really neat to see.
DeleteI love vintage items like this because you get to see the guys who don't get a lot of hobby love. Very cool that Yerkes made it on and thank you for sharing!
