At his best, Charlie Hemphill was a strong-armed, fleet-footed outfielder and solid hitter who drew walks. In 1910, Alfred Spink described him as "a cracking good batsman and when right is a hard man to beat." At his worst, however, Hemphill was a poor fielder known to misjudge balls in the air, and an inattentive base runner. Hemphill's career was also marred by several bouts with dissipation. After his major league career was over, Hemphill's drinking cost him his managerial post with the Atlanta Crackers. The featured example is the lone copy to have been graded NM 7 by SGC with none having been graded higher, in fact a grand total of only 4 cards from the entire issue have been graded NM 7 by SGC. A tremendous opportunity to acquire this top flight candy card for your advanced collection.
