Bucky Harris

|
(b. November 8, 1896 - d. November 8, 1977)
|
| An above average second baseman for the Senators,
Harris was a natural leader who had his greatest success
as manager. In his first season as player-manager
in 1924, he led the Senators to their only world championship.
He went on to manage another 28 seasons with five
other clubs, going 2,157-2,218. Harris usually had
little talent but was a respected strategist who drove
his players to play their best. |

| Comments: I picked up
a 1936 Goudey issue to kick off this run, a PSA 5 and later a PSA
8 in 2003. I really liked the 1935 Diamond Stars issue and switched
to it with the purchase of a PSA 5 on eBay in December, 2005. A
couple years later when trying to maximize the number of type cards
represented in the collection, I decided to swap it out. I already
had a Chick Hafey in the Diamond Stars and didn't have a 1952 Bowman
example. So, I spotted this PSA 8 on eBay in May, 2007 and ended
up winning the auction. |
