Hack Wilson. For some reason he's not as famous as he should be. I guess he was in the shadow of Ruth.

    Correct, but it was 191 RBIs. That was in 1930. He also hit 56 homeruns that year. Not bad for a guy that was only 5'6" tall and weighed 185 lbs.

    Very nice looking card. Good to see you posting more these days.

    Edited to add: Hack Wilson drove in 708 runs from 1926 through 1930.

    That is a great card! I love the Square jaw on him, he looks like he was a nasty guy for a pitcher to face!

    Nice card, one of the most underappreciated cards IMO and he does kinda look like Mr. incredible. To me that's what a 75 yr. old card looks like, honest wear, but still very nice.
