Shortstop Joe Tinker, second baseman Johnny Evers, and first baseman Frank Chance were the Chicago Nationals infield whose quick double plays made their names inseparable. Franklin P. Adams's 1910 newspaper verse, "Baseball's Sad Lexicon," fixed the trio in popular memory as "Tinker to Evers to Chance." Cards of this kind were often packed with tobacco products in the early 1900s, so they now survive as small, colorful records of the players who drew crowds to the Cubs' West Side Park.
