Dynamic and intimate pose for "Home Run" Baker, who first obtained his famous nickname following what we'd now call "clutch playoff performance" via 1911 World Series homers off fellow Cooperstown inductees Christy Mathewson and Rube Marquard. While Frank's defensive abilities fell short of that hitting prowess, he remained a key piece of the A's "$100,000 infield."

The SGC VG-EX 4 grade shows terrific centering, good color, and clean surfaces for a mid-grade example. Its corner rounding, somewhat more at upper left, and soft line of haze on its reverse explain the technical grade. Wonderful overall card of a great Hall of Fame player.
