Doc Newton

Eustace James Newton (October 26, 1877 – May 14, 1931) was born in Mount Carmel, Indiana. He put together 10 seasons in the majors, his service running from 1900 through 1909, 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 21 years from 1897 to 1917. He was listed at 6'0" and 185 pounds, and he hit and threw left-handed. For collectors, his vintage cardboard footprint is anchored by an appearance in the T204 Ramly 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 53 years of age at the time of his death. He continued in the professional game for 8 more seasons after his last big-league appearance. He was roughly 23 years old at the time of his major-league debut. He died in Memphis, Tennessee. He was laid to rest at Crown Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis, Indiana.
