Athletics Card of the Day
Lamar Newsome
"Skeeter" Newsome was purchased by the Philadelphia Athletics from Tulsa in 1934. In 1935, his first full year in the major leagues, "Skeeter" finished second to Bill Rogell, for the honor of being the best fielding shortstop in the American League. Newsome played in only 17 games with the Athletics in 1938, getting 13 hits, 4 of which were doubles, for a batting average of .271. "Skeeter" is well on the way toward becoming one of the greatest shortstops in the American League because of his defensive abilities, and at bat he usually manages to come through in a pinch.

Who is it?
The production of the 1911 Turkey Red baseball card set, issued in two series, holds several minor variations that affect their players' name or team captions, but none are regarded as major scarcities.
