Tom Needham

Thomas Joseph "Deerfoot" Needham (April 17, 1879 – December 14, 1926) was born in Ireland, Ireland. He put together 11 seasons in the majors, his service running from 1904 through 1914, and the New York Giants of the National League stand as the club he is most identified with. His full professional career, counting minor-league campaigns, ran 14 years from 1901 to 1914. He was listed at 5'10" and 180 pounds, and he hit and threw right-handed. For collectors, his vintage cardboard footprint is anchored by an appearance in the T206 White Border set, the survey most often consulted when his image is the target. That single-issue presence narrows the chase but also keeps demand concentrated on a known card. He was 47 years of age at the time of his death. He was roughly 25 years old at the time of his major-league debut. He died in Steubenville, Ohio. He was laid to rest at Mount Calvary Cemetery in Steubenville, Ohio.
