Player O The Week: Shea 1910

January 19th, 2008 @ 2:17 am by Cliffe | Sorted Old Sportborder
Player O The Week is going to Seattle’s own Shea from the 1910 Northwestern League ball club. Unlike the 1911 Spencer card Obak Cigarettes had not gotten around to profiles that year, so we can’t really know what kind of player Shea was. So let’s just assume that he also infused plenty of pepper into the game. Deal? Deal. Click on the images for larger versions.

    I found this awesome blog post linking to this post here. It’s on the “Tor Hates the Internet” Blog and the post is tittled “Before douchebags were douchebags: Seattle 1910.” Pretty hilarious.
