Whether "Home Run" Baker garnered his nickname from playoff exploits (true) or four straight seasons leading the AL in round-trippers, he did both, and consistently hit so well that even Walter Johnson threw at him once, something that Johnson claimed he avoided due to the deadly power in his fastball.

The SGC GOOD 2 grade reflects a range of factors, from corner rounding and edge chipping (an almost endemic fact of T205 collecting) to the light creases on its left edge. Its central color and Frank's serious-minded image remain strong examples of this set's impressive design, giving lower-grade collectors an accessible way to pick up a legend of his time.
