J. Tinker Port.

Joseph Bert "Joe" Tinker (1880–1948) is the Chicago Cubs shortstop named in Franklin P. Adams's 1910 doggerel "Tinker to Evers to Chance," forever fused into baseball folklore. The T206 White Border J. Tinker Portrait is one of four T206 Tinker variations — the others depict him batting and in two action poses — making this card a cornerstone of any Cubs deadball collection. Born July 27, 1880 in Muscotah, Kansas, the right-handed batter and thrower debuted with Chicago in 1902 and anchored the infield through the franchise's 1906–1910 four-pennant run, including back-to-back World Series titles in 1907 and 1908. He famously feuded with double-play partner Johnny Evers and the two reportedly went years without speaking off the field. Tinker later managed the Reds in 1913 and the Federal League's Chicago Whales in 1914–15 before retiring in 1916. He died July 27, 1948 — his 68th birthday — in Orlando, Florida and is buried at Greenwood Cemetery there. The Hall of Fame elected him with Evers and Chance in 1946.
