The stories told about Hall of Fame pitcher Rube Waddell combine superlative skill and easy distraction. His ability to strike out hitters and engage with fans was exceeded only by his willingness to step away from normal adult commitments to join any activity that struck his fancy. This T206 portrait pose's rich primary color also communicates a certain childlike love of baseball itself. Its SGC VG 3 grade reflects the near-perfect centering, solid registration, and slightly rounded corners. A few dots on the front and back appear to be all that hold it back from higher scores. Impressive and accessible way to add this eccentric pitcher to your T206 or Hall of Fame collection!
