Nap Lajoie
|
|
(b. September 5, 1874 - d. February 7, 1959)
|
| One of the best right batters in history, Lajoie
was the best second baseman of his era and became
the first man at his position to be elected to the
Hall. A graceful fielder, he hit over .300 16 times
in his career. He won the Triple Crown in 1901, the
American League's debut season; batting .422 with
14 homers and 125 RBI. His presence and outstanding
performance gave the AL much-needed attention and
respect. Lajoie had a career .338 average, 3,242 hits
and 657 doubles. |

| Description: |
This set of 30 subjects, known by the ACC designation
of E96, was issued in 1910 by the Philadelphia Caramel Co. as a
continuation of the E95 set of the previous year. The front design
remained the same, but the two issues can be identified by the backs.
The backs of the E96 cards are printed in red and carry a checklist
of 30 players. There is also a line at the bottom advising "Previous
series 25, making total issue 55 cards." Just below that appears
"Philadelphia Caramel Co./Camden, N.J." Blank-back cards printed
on thinner stock are not proofs, but rather were cut off a "Base
Ball Series" notebook cover. |
