H. Jennings One

This card files under the abbreviated identifier "H. Jennings One," a Detroit Tigers entry in the T206 White Border set carrying birth and death years of 1869 and 1928. Those dates and the Detroit assignment match Hugh Ambrose Jennings, the firebrand shortstop turned manager who skippered the Tigers to three straight American League pennants from 1907 to 1909 and stalked the third-base coaching box shouting his trademark "Ee-yah!" The right-handed Jennings batted and threw from the right side and spent his playing prime as the spark of the rough Baltimore Orioles of the 1890s before reaching Detroit's bench. The card sits in our holdings on T206 White Border, the same 520-card monument that anchors the 1909-era market. Jennings died February 1, 1928, and was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1945 by the Old Timers Committee that processed the early-century backlog. The catalog name remains the literal printed inventory tag rather than a corrected biographical heading.
