NNO Boss Schmidt

NNO Boss Schmidt was born 1880, and died 1932. He was associated with the Detroit Tigers of the American League. He batted switch-handed and threw right-handed. His likeness survives in the cardboard record on the E101 Anonymous Set of 50 issue. The E101 Anonymous Set of 50 issue belongs to the so-called caramel-card category — small color cards distributed as premiums in candy boxes during the deadball era. 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. This particular catalog entry corresponds to the card variant identified as "NNO Boss Schmidt".
