Item Description
1.5x2.5". Issued continuously from 1887 to 1890, the Goodwin Company's Old Judge baseball series depicts hundreds of ballplayers from more than 40 major and minor league teams, as well as boxers and wrestlers. Astonishingly, more than 4,500 different types of cards and variations are known to exist. Image presented here is bold with fine contrast, a most important aspect of these Old Judge tobacco cards. Frank Foreman won over 200 games in professional baseball. In the major leagues, he had a 96-93 win-loss record, a 3.97 ERA, and 586 strikeouts. He is in the record books on a dubious list where he ranks 26th all-time among major league pitchers in career hit batsmen, with 142.
