(Still from the same auction, and de-browned and sharpened, once more.)
I have no idea what Pebbly Jack (who would turn 70 that summer) was doing in an Indians uniform in 1927. He wasn't a coach, and "Old-Timers' Day" and such had yet to be invented, as I understand it.
But here he is, showing those wimpy whippersnappers that they don't need no darned gloves. REAL men use their hands, see?
Jack stuck around for another 20 years, long enough to see himself get the same % of the 1936 Hall of Fame vote (when everyone, anytime was eligible) as latter-day Clevelander Nap Lajoie. The 6th man ever to reach 2000 hits, he won a batting title and was one of the best barehand fielders in the game…but we can't say he would have won a Golden Glove, exactly. A Golden Callous, perhaps?
