This card shows Eddie Cicotte in his Red Sox years, when he was one of the team's young pitchers in the early 1910s. Cards like this one were often issued in sets tied to newspapers and tobacco or candy makers, which gave fans an early look at players they could follow through the season. Cicotte later became known for his spitball, a pitch that was legal in his era, and he was among the Chicago White Sox players later banned from baseball over the fixed 1919 World Series. His career is a useful reminder of how quickly a player's reputation could change, and why early cards from that period are now prized by collectors and historians.
