This baseball cards came with a bonus: a piece of tape that holds Bridwell's head together.
It's not a regular pece of tape, it's more like an old piece of paper that was pasted to the card's back.
I'm glad someone took the time to keep this card together, no matter what it took.
Bridwell played for the New York Giants when this card was produced. But in 1914-15 he was a member of the St. Louis Terriers.
The Terriers played in the third major league. The Federal League lasted only two seasons before it folded. But a few things remain from the old league.
The most famous being a Chicago ballpark located on the corner of Waveland and Sheffield.
That's right, Wrigley Field was home to the Federal Leagues' Chicago Whales.

That's a beauty! Nice rich colors.
Even considering it's a 100 years old, that's a sorry looking card. But it does have nice colors!
