Graded NM 7 by PSA. Huggins was also an accomplished second baseman in the Deadball Era, when he excelled despite being one of the smallest men to ever play the National Pastime. Underestimated as both a player and a manager, Huggins overcame great obstacles to excel. Baseball was his life, but ultimately the stress he experienced in it may have contributed to his premature death at age 51. At the time, he looked at least 20 years older. “Baseball is my life. I’d be lost without it,” he told sportswriter and future Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick. “Maybe, as you say, it will get me some day—but as long as I die in harness, I’ll be happy." Exceptionally well centered with corners that are appropriate for the grade.
