Lefty Leifield: Pitt. Hands behind head

Lefty Leifield: Pitt. Hands behind head was born 1883, and died 1970. He was associated with the Pittsburgh Pirates of the National League. He batted and threw left-handed. His likeness survives in the cardboard record on the T206 White Border issue. The T206 White Border set, issued by the American Tobacco Company between 1909 and 1911 and distributed in cigarette packs, remains the most widely collected of all pre-war baseball card releases. Career statistics and full game-by-game records for many deadball-era contributors are incomplete in the surviving sources, leaving the cards themselves as a primary witness to the player's place in the professional game.
