Here's the 1910 poem that made them famous:
- These are the saddest of possible words:
- "Tinker to Evers to Chance."
- Trio of bear cubs, and fleeter than birds,
- Tinker and Evers and Chance.
- Ruthlessly pricking our gonfalon bubble,
- Making a Giant hit into a double –
- Words that are heavy with nothing but trouble:
- "Tinker to Evers to Chance."
Those are awesome cards! I always wanted to go after the Tinker-Evers-Chance bat cards from the first set of Topps t206, but could never afford them.
