Fred Clarke (d. 1960) was a player-manager for four of the nine pennants in Pittsburgh franchise history. He and fellow Hall of Famers Honus Wagner and Vic Willis led Pittsburgh to a victory over Ty Cobb and the Detroit Tigers in the 1909 World Series. Clarke batted over .300 in 11 different seasons. His 35-game hitting streak in 1895 was the second-longest in major league history at the time and is still tied for 11th-longest. For six years, Clarke held the major league record for wins by a manager. He is a member of the Baseball HOF. We offer a gorgeous signed lined 3x5 index card!
