Hal Chase Blue bkg

Hal Chase (1883 – 1947). He suited up primarily for the New York Yankees of the AL. He batted right-handed and threw left-handed. He was permanently barred from organized baseball for his involvement in game-fixing. For collectors, his most recognized appearance is in the iconic T206 White Border tobacco set issued 1909-11 by the American Tobacco Company. Catalog references identify this entry as the "Blue bkg" pose or variation.
