One of the more highly coveted cards in the N172 Old Judge issue depicting Pittsburgh third baseman Art Whitney kneeling with a dog. Whitney had a reputation for jumping from team to team; he spent time with eight different teams during his 11-year career. The photo of Whitney is a statement on loyalty with the most loyal animal - the dog - pictured with the least loyal - Whitney. The joke of course has been largely lost to history with Whitney's reputation largely forgotten. Indeed this same pose can be found of Whitney listed with Pittsburgh where he spent the 1884-1887 seasons.
