Item Description
1-7/16x2-5/8". The T205 issue consists of 209 different cards, although just 198 players are represented in the T205 set- a few multiple poses and some variations account for the higher accepted total. Border graphics of varying types, usually incorporating team logos and equipment, identified the respective league. Facsimile signatures crossed a portion of many ballplayers' depictions.
John Franklin "Home Run" Baker was an American professional baseball player. A third baseman, Baker played in Major League Baseball from 1908 to 1922 for the Philadelphia Athletics and New York Yankees. Although he never hit more than 12 home runs in a season and hit only 96 in his major league career, Baker has been called the "original home run king of the majors". Some career highlights include leading the AL in Home Runs from 1911-1914, leading the AL in RBI's in 1912 and 1913 and being a three time World Series Champion in 1910, 1911 and 1913. "Home Run" Baker was inducted into the National Baseball Hall Of Fame in 1955.
