Card is available for purchase if you’re interested, please message me. Thank you.

One of the things I learned trying to get a card from each year going back to 1900 is that there were not many, if any, cards produced in 1942 and 1943. Luckily for me, the Cubs produced team picture packs in 1942 and Chico Hernandez was on that Cubs team. Chico was a star catcher for the Bloomers in 1938 - catching all 121 games and being named a Three-I League All-Star. My friend and McLean County Museum of History Librarian, Bill Kemp, wrote a nice piece about Chico and how he made baseball history.
