Item Description
1-1/8". The 1909-12 Sweet Caporal Domino Discs (PX7) baseball set is one of the most unique offerings from the Sweet Caporal Cigarette Company. This obscure offering by Sweet Caporal appeared similar to the company’s 1910-12 P2 pin set with many of the same images of the top players of the day. Each disc has a player’s portrait, name and team as well as the company name printed on the front with a red, green or blue background. The unnumbered backs featured various domino game piece dot configurations. These thin cardboard discs have a thin metal rim around then for protection. The set contains 129 players, with the occasional duplicate player on two different discs and teams, as well as many variations with player’s caps or uniforms. The set potentially has an innumerable number of variations with the front variations, combined with the different domino tiles.
John Franklin "Home Run" Baker was an American professional baseball player. A third baseman, Baker played in Major League Baseball from 1908 to 1922 for the Philadelphia Athletics and New York Yankees. Although he never hit more than 12 home runs in a season and hit only 96 in his major league career, Baker has been called the "original home run king of the majors". Some career highlights include leading the AL in Home Runs from 1911-1914, leading the AL in RBI's in 1912 and 1913 and being a three time World Series Champion in 1910, 1911 and 1913. "Home Run" Baker was inducted into the National Baseball Hall Of Fame in 1955.
