Weird Card Wednesday: 1904 Sherry Magee

Thanks to Scott Fennessy for passing on this Sherry Magee card from the 1904 season set which was published in 2013.  Magee had a pretty decent year in part-time work for the last place Phils in 1904.

Sherry Magee didn’t walk much (14 BB in 387 PA).  In fact, he almost had as many triples.  Magee reached third on a hit twelve times in ‘04.  That’s why he has a 66-3 AND an 11-3.  Those two threes will get him a triple with bases empty.

Magee garners a 44-7 and a 15-11 which is equivalent to a 55-7.  He only batted .277 but as I mentioned, Sherry didn’t take many pitches.  He only received one 14.  While that’s not preferable, that gives him more overall hit numbers (see my Quick and Dirty Guide to estimate what a card will hit).

Thanks, Scott!

I am an IT consultant by day and an APBA media mogul by night. My passions are baseball (specifically Illini baseball), photography and of course, APBA. I have been fortunate to be part of the basic game Illowa APBA League since 1980 as well as the BBW Boys of Summer APBA League since 2014. I am slogging through a 1966 NL replay and hope to finish before I die.
