Hobe Ferris

Albert Samuel Ferris (December 7, 1874 – March 18, 1938) was born in Trowbridge, England. He put together 9 seasons in the majors, his service running from 1901 through 1909, and the St. Louis Browns of the American League stand as the club he is most identified with. His full professional career, counting minor-league campaigns, ran 18 years from 1897 to 1914. He was listed at 5'8" and 162 pounds, and he hit and threw right-handed. Among collectors, he turns up across the E254 Colgan's Chips, T204 Ramly, and T206 White Border issues, giving him a multi-set vintage footprint and broader optionality for buyers seeking an example of his cardboard. He was 63 years of age at the time of his death. It took him 4 years of professional ball before he reached the majors. He continued in the professional game for 5 more seasons after his last big-league appearance. He was roughly 27 years old at the time of his major-league debut. He died in Detroit, Michigan. He was laid to rest at Roseland Park Cemetery in Berkley, Michigan.
