| Baseball's premier 19th century slugger, Brouthers toiled for nine
different clubs, in three different major leagues, for 21 seasons.
He was the first man to win back-to-back batting titles, 1882 and
1883. Brouthers batted over .300 in 16 consecutive seasons, reaching
.374 in 1883. |

| Comments: The first portrait
I bought for Brouthers was a tribute card, a raw 1990 Target Dodgers,
in February, 2003. In March, 2003 I replaced it with another tribute
card - a PSA 8 1981 Detroit News also won via eBay. At the 2007
National Sports Collector's Convention in Cleveland I purchased
an item issued during Brouthers career, this SGC 10 Mayo Cut Plug
card. There's actually another card I'd prefer for Brouthers but
I have not been able to get my hands on an example. I'm seeking
a N526 Diamond S to accompany the N526 Number 7 Cigars Kelly I own.
There was a Lot which included the Brouthers in the Nov, 2010 Legendary
Auction but I didn't win. Keeping my fingers crossed for another
opportunity… |
