Item Description
From same set as #1063. Bottom margin text reads "Detroit 1910 OLeary SS." Tip off top left corner but image remains strong. O'Leary debuted in the Major Leagues on April 14, 1904 with the Tigers. He was Detroit's starting shortstop from 1904–1907 and became a backup shortstop and utility infielder from 1908-1912. After finishing his playing career in 1913 with the St. Louis Cardinals, O'Leary coached for the Yankees for 10 years during which the team won six pennants. O'Leary also coached with the Chicago Cubs (under manager Rogers Hornsby) and St. Louis Browns. On September 30, 1934, O'Leary was called out of retirement by the St. Louis Browns at the age 58 and he became the oldest Major League player to successfully collect a hit, and the oldest to score a run. Designated by SGC as being from the "Richard Merkin Collection" and comes with Hake's COA.
