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.
Bert Cunningham was an American Major League Baseball pitcher from 1887 to 1901. He played for the Brooklyn Grays, Baltimore Orioles, Philadelphia Athletics, Buffalo Bisons, Louisville Colonels, and Chicago Orphans. On September 15, 1890, while playing for Buffalo in the Players' League, Cunningham threw five wild pitches in one inning. This record still stands today, although it was tied in a 2000 playoff game by St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Rick Ankiel.
