Back to images from the rare "Just So" Tobacco cards of the Cleveland Spiders of 1893.

The more we apply modern analytics to 19th Century players, the more second baseman Clarence "Cupid" Childs looks like a legitimate candidate for the Hall of Fame. His career on base average was .416, his OPS+ a tidy 119, and in his 12 full seasons he produced a war of 44.4 - well ahead of Hall of Famers like Rabbit Maranville and Travis Jackson.
