Weird Card Wednesday: 1910 E. Cooper

Cooper

I was about to feature this “E. Cooper” card from the 1910 Chicago Leland Giants on my Terrible Tuesday column but as Tom Zuppa indicated, there wasn’t a lot to be known about this gentleman.  “There’s no statistical record of him being on the Giants that season … or that he had a first name.” 

Indeed, it’s a pretty odd card.  His first name is listed as “E.”.  His birthdate is “Unknown”.  Both his height and weight are shown simply as “Unk”.  It’s amazing that we know that he bats right and throws right (or maybe APBA just made a guess). 

That all said, his card is pretty atrocious for a firstbaseman/outfielder.  He has hit numbers 7-8-8-9 with a 44-37. 

thanks Tom!

I am an IT consultant by day and an APBA media mogul by night. My passions are baseball (specifically Illini baseball), photography and of course, APBA. I have been fortunate to be part of the basic game Illowa APBA League since 1980 as well as the BBW Boys of Summer APBA League since 2014. I am slogging through a 1966 NL replay and hope to finish before I die.

  1. Well at least he is consistent. No name, no info, no hitting.
