"They used to say he didn’t spit on the ball; he blew his breath on it and the ball came up drunk.” -- Rube Marquard on Bugs Raymond
Today's T206 brings a sad backstory to the player featured on this tiny piece of cardboard. Before delving into that, it's yet another former piece of Charles Bray's Collection and was snagged from REA a while back with some other tobacco cards.
Bugs Raymond earned his nickname due to his crazy persona and antics, including a dependency on alcohol.
