Ed Summers

Oren Edgar "Kickapoo Ed; Chief" Summers (December 5, 1884 – May 12, 1953) was born in Ladoga, Indiana. He put together 5 seasons in the majors, his service running from 1908 through 1912, and the Detroit Tigers of the American League stand as the club he is most identified with. His full professional career, counting minor-league campaigns, ran 10 years from 1905 to 1914. He was listed at 6'2" and 180 pounds, and he was a switch-hitter and threw right-handed. Among collectors, he turns up across the E254 Colgan's Chips, E90-1 American Caramel, 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 68 years of age at the time of his death. He stayed in the pro ranks for two more seasons after his last big-league appearance. He was roughly 24 years old at the time of his major-league debut. He died in Indianapolis, Indiana. He was laid to rest at Ladoga Cemetery in Ladoga, Indiana.
