Item Description
3.5x5.5”. Image with large text “Toronto/1907.” Players and manager are photographed and identified. Photo credit is H.C. Weasner/Buffalo, N.Y. The Maple Leafs were a high level minor league baseball club located in Toronto, Ontario Canada that played from 1896 to 1967. Former major league star Joe Kelley took the reins as manager in 1907 (shown at center of this card) and the team’s fortunes immediately turned around. Kelley was drafted by the Boston Doves the next season. Toronto won the Eastern League/International League pennant 12 times including 1907 (the year of this card). Pictured player Jack Thoney won the league batting title that year (.329). Has moderate aging more so on back than front. Unused. Fine. From the Richard Merkin Collection and comes with Hake’s COA.
