This is a 1922 Nielson’s Chocolate baseball card of Yankees’ first baseman Wally Pipp. Most people know his story – he was benched by manager Miller Huggins, supposedly temporarily because he was in a slump, and was replaced by a young player named Lou Gehrig, and never saw the field again, at least not with the Yankees. Pipp was eventually traded to the Cincinnati Reds in 1926.
