The prestige associated with the Chicago Cub's iconic "Tinker to Evers to Chance" double play combination will forever be embedded in baseball folklore, and unequivocal legacy that ably transcends us to early 20th century baseball. That formidable three assisted Chicago in winning 3 consecutive pennants from 1906 – 1908 along with two World Series victories over Ty Cobb's Detroit Tigers in 1907 and 1908. Therefore, it is not surprising that when the American Tobacco Company (ATC) issued there prestigious T206 tobacco card series, four separate cards/poses of the Hall of Fame shortstop Joe Tinker were included between 1909 and 1911.
