One of my card collecting focuses is players who passed through various Bloomington, IL baseball teams from 1887 to 1939. Clark Griffith happened to grow up in Normal, IL and got his start with the Bloomington Reds in 1887. Love that this 1912 card of the Hall of Famer calls out his time in Bloomington!
