In
1888 base ball was still in its infancy and in an attempt to draw sales tobacco companies
began inserting cards with ball players on them in to their products. Lucky for Old Judge an
outfielder named Ken Griffey Jr. from the Cincinnati Red Stockings has been
tearing up the league and is the perfect player to include on the checklist for their 1888 N173 Old Judge Cabinet Cards. There has even been rumor that the hard hitting Griffey
may someday over take Ned Williamson’s seemingly unbreakable 27 home runs in a
single season.
Sweet pre-rookie
ReplyDeleteI would guess 1880's Griffey would have a cool nickname. Hack Griffey.....Cool Papa Griffey.
