Simpsons Folder of Fun Addition - Part 2

If you missed the first post of this series you can go here to catch up.

Today's card is none other than the owner, Mr. Burns

I believe Mr. Burns is giving a sign here. NO?  What immediately jumps out to me is his old-timey uniform, which plays up well considering his birth year noted on the back of the card. 
Just for reference, Morecai Brown pitched from 1903 through 1916. 

Additionally, I had to look up Gabby Street and Jim Creighton, because I was not familiar with their careers. Creighton's inclusion on this card is a bit of a head scratcher as he passed away before Mr. Burns was born. 

Man, I love the attention to detail on the backs of these cards!

Card #3 and our first MLB players is slated for tomorrow. Stay tuned!

    Fantastic. I think Creighton is the one Smithers refers to saying to Burns something like "sir, your right fielder has been dead for 130 years." lol
