Hack Wilson (b. April 26, 1900 - d. November 23, 1948) For five seasons, from 1926 to 1930, the muscular, midgetlike Wilson was one of the game's greatest sluggers. In 1930, the Cub outfielder hit an NL-record 56 homers and knocked in a major league record 190 runs. He led the NL in homers four times and in RBI twice. Liquor, nonetheless, was Wilson's downfall, and by the end of 1934, he was out of baseball.

Comments: In September, 2000 I purchased a group of 1980 TCMA tribute cards including a Hack Wilson. The card was eventually graded by PSA and a placeholder until I found a portrait contemporary to his career. In March, 2008 I won an eBay auction for an Authentic SGC 1928 R315 card. His gin on the card is classic, looks a little drunk. The card didn't meet the size requirements for the issue so it didn't get a numeric grade. On January 6th 2009 a friend in the hobby, Jeff Britton, sold me this beautiful PSA 8.
