Ed Willett

Robert Edgar Willett (March 7, 1884 – May 10, 1934) was born in Norfolk, Virginia. He put together 10 seasons in the majors, his service running from 1906 through 1915, and the Detroit Tigers of the American League stand as the club he is most identified with. His full professional career, counting minor-league campaigns, ran 15 years from 1905 to 1919. He was listed at 6'0" and 183 pounds, and he hit and threw right-handed. Among collectors, he turns up on the E254 Colgan's Chips and E95 Philadelphia Caramel issues, the two surveys that anchor his vintage card footprint and give pursuers more than one route to a representative card. He was 50 years of age at the time of his death. He continued in the professional game for 4 more seasons after his last big-league appearance. He was roughly 22 years old at the time of his major-league debut. He died in Wellington, Kansas. He was laid to rest at Caldwell Cemetery in Caldwell, Kansas.
