Birdie Cree

William Franklin Cree (October 23, 1882 – November 7, 1942) was born in Khedive, Pennsylvania. He put together 8 seasons in the majors, his service running from 1908 through 1915, and the New York Yankees of the American League stand as the club he is most identified with. His full professional career, counting minor-league campaigns, ran 10 years from 1906 to 1915. He was listed at 5'6" and 150 pounds, and he hit and threw right-handed. For collectors, his vintage cardboard footprint is anchored by an appearance in the T206 White Border set, the survey most often consulted when his image is the target. That single-issue presence narrows the chase but also keeps demand concentrated on a known card. He was 60 years of age at the time of his death. His professional career began two seasons before his major-league debut. He was roughly 26 years old at the time of his major-league debut. He died in Sunbury, Pennsylvania. He was laid to rest at Pomfret Manor Cemetery in Sunbury, Pennsylvania.
