002 Wing Maddox

$10.00

This is Booklet 002 of The Infinite Baseball Card Set Booklet Series.

Description

WING MADDOX: The One-Armed Batting Champ  For many decades blackball historians were baffled by Maddox’s nickname of “One Wing” until the new breed of researchers uncovered contemporary newspaper articles that verified the pitcher-outfielder’s lack of a left arm. This revelation came as a surprise to many, more so when it was found that the one-armed ballplayer was the 1920 Negro Southern League batting champ!

 

ABOUT THE BOOKLET SERIES

Each of the hand-numbered and signed 4 ¼” x 5 1/2″ booklets feature an 8 to 24 page story along with a colored art card attached to the inside back cover. These mini-books can be bought individually, thematically or collected as a never-ending set. In addition to the individual booklets, I envision there being themed sets, such as the series I did on Minor League Home Run Champions.

Because these will be handmade in my studio, the production number of each booklet will be low, available on first-come – first serve basis.

Many, but not all, of the stories in The Infinite Baseball Card Set will be made available as a booklet, but I will be doing others that will only be available in print form.
