Ryan- Nice pick up on the Clark cards. At first I thought the last card said 46 oz. That would be a heavy bat, lol.

Cool lil' mail day here...
I wanted a barrel Clark for a while. When I saw he was on the CL for a Knob and a Barrel, I wanted the pair. It took a while for the 2 to pop. I was offered the Knob at a price we worked on but couldn't match on price by $100. The Knob end they used didn't really have much appeal to me (no markings etc), but if I coulda got the price right I woulda added it. Moving on the barrel hit and I was able to land it. Actually has some ball residue (no pun IndyManning if you read this) on it so that's a cool bonus. I do wish the picture was a little nicer, but overall, happy to add one.
Goes well with:
Thanks for looking

Hahahahaha! I just read your remark in the original post.
selah150pslm you would think they would use a yankees patch or put a pic of him in the boston uni. Sweet card though.
Nice pickups guys. Selah I didn't know about Williamson , that a neat card

Some more of the info I found, since it wouldn't be a HR record without an asterisk.
The Cubs (White Stockings at the time) played at Union Base-Ball Grounds where the fences were so close (less than 200 feet down each line, 300 to center) that all balls hit over the fence were ruled doubles. In their final season at the park they changed the ground rules to makes balls hit over the fences count as home runs. Williamson led with 27 as the Cubs had the top 4 and 7 of the top 9 HR hitters of that year (Cap Anson was 4th with 21, King Kelly was 6th at 13).
