Description
1909-11 T206 Sweet Caporal 150/25 Hugh Jennings (Portrait) PSA NM-MT 8 - Pop Two, None Higher! Hugh Jennings saw the greatest period of development the spry young sport of baseball has yet to match. For the better part of 40 years Jennings excelled as both player and manager. Regardless of his role, success followed. He was an excellent shortstop for the Baltimore Orioles who won National League championships in 1894, 1895 and 1896. Jennings even batted the exalted .400 mark with a .401 average in 1896 belting out 209 hits. His taste for managing came from his days coaching at Cornell University Law and for 13 seasons Jennings managed/coached the Detroit Tigers starting in 1907. His Tigers, with the help of Sam Crawford and a brash youngster named Cobb, won the pennant in 1907, '08 and 1909 and would retire from baseball in 1920. His whistling, wild dance moves, and shouts of "Ee-Yah" are now woven into the tapestry of the history of the game for which Jennings will also be known for.Condition Status: Only 1% of total T206 submissions to PSA, which is currently over 286,000 submissions have graded NM-MT or higher.
