Black Sox Scandal | Pre-War Vintage Baseball Cards | Card Collecting | 1919 World Series

Although I have not written the bios, I have uploaded profile pages for each of the men banned from Baseball who played in the 1919 World Series. Hope you enjoy! You can visit Shoeless Joe Jackson’s page at http://www.blacksoxfan.com/jackson.php!

I have uploaded profile pages for each of the Eight Men Out.  Unfortunately, I have not had a chance to write biographies for all of the players or post scans for all of their cards.  I’m still trying to confirm all of the different M101-4/M101-5/E135/H-cards/D-cards that appeared on the scene in 1916 and 1917.  In the meantime, enjoy!

I’m busy adding profile pages for each of the Black Sox. When I’m done with that, I do the same for the Reds players as well. In the meantime, check out Eddie Cicotte’s profile page and Swede Risberg’s profile page. The other ‘Eight Men Out’ will follow soon.

While this may not be news to some (in fact, this may not be news to anyone), we confirmed today that Frank Shellenback, noted for being a member of the Pacific Coast League Hall of Fame, does in fact appear on the 1920 Collins-McCarthy Zee-Nut Issue.
