Nearing the end of his career Hall of Famer Dan Brouthers lasted just five games with the Baltimore Orioles before being sold to the Louisville Colonels where he would play 24 more games. His 1894 season with Baltimore was closer to his typical standards those 1894 Orioles were one of the great teams of all-time featuring Hall of Famers behind the plate (Wilbert Robinson) at first (Brouthers) shorstop (Hugh Jennings) third base (John McGraw) and two outfield positions (Willie Keeler and Joe Kelley). The portrait photo in his Mayo's Cut Plug card was initially issued depicting Brouthers in an Orioles jersey likely printed in 1894 and not 1895 as typically attributed. Graded FR 1.5 by SGC the card is well-worn actually miscut at the top and bottom though the image quality remains strong.
