Smith, known during his playing days as the "Piano Mover" because he used to boast that he could "carry a baby grand up four flights of stairs without a rest," was a mainstay of the Chicago White Sox pitching staff between 1904 and 1909, winning 104 games for the club during that span. Relying on a drop ball, curve, and occasional spitball, Smith hurled two no-hitters for the White Sox, the only pitcher in franchise history to do so, and led the American League in both innings pitched and strikeouts in 1909. The featured card has some moderate damage to the bottom of the obverse of the card.
