Waite Hoyt, 1929

I picked up a rough looking 1929 Kashin Publications card of Hall of Famer, Waite Hoyt, off of ebay for a couple bucks.  Hoyt was a dominant picher for the Ruth era Yankees.  He has an interesting biography on wikipedia that includes this bit, “Hoyt was also known as “The Merry Mortician”, for when he was not playing baseball, he spent days working as a funeral director and nights appearing on vaudeville. As a vaudevillian, he appeared with many of the most well-known performers of the day, including Jack Benny, Jimmy Durante, George Burns, and others. He kept in shape during the off-season by playing semi-pro basketball.”
