Item Description
From same set as #1129. Card front reads "Santa Clara B.B.C. Holland-Pitcher." Slight margin trim but both sides of card remain very clean and image is bold. To our knowledge, this is the only standard issue baseball card made during his playing years. Between 1920 and 1941 Holland played for a number of different Negro League teams including the Detroit Stars, Chicago American Giants, New York Lincoln Giants, Brooklyn Royal Giants, Hilldale Daisies, New York Black Yankees and Philadelphia Stars. He is credited with a 29-2 record in 1930 with the New York Lincoln Giants, and on July 10 of that year he became the first black pitcher ever to pitch in Yankee Stadium. Designated by SGC as being from the "Richard Merkin Collection" and comes with Hake's COA.
