TY COBB
"Ty Cobb, Detroit's star outfielder, is conceded by all critics to be one of the fastest ball players that ever stepped on a diamond. In 1910 he led the batsmen of all leagues with the wonderful average of .385, and for the five years ending in 1910, his average was .351.
He is lightning on the bases, and only absolutely perfect throws ever stop him. In the field his speed helps him gather in many an apparently clean hit."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205


JIM DELAHANTY
"Jim Delahanty, second baseman for the Detroits, came to them from Washington in 1909. He has stood up well in the fielding records, having been especially handy with the willow in the World's Championship Series of 1909, when he headed the figures of both teams, some of them hitters of no mean ability. His batting for 1908, 1909 and 1910 averaged .280, his 307 hits during that period being good for 395 bases."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205


HUGH JENNINGS
"Hughey Jennings, manager of the Detroit Americans, was one of the greatest shortstops that ever stepped on a diamond, and is now one of the most capable and popular managers.
He began playing ball in 1890, and in a few years became one of the stars that made base ball history for the Baltimore team. In 1899 he went to Brooklyn with other Baltimore players under Ned Hanlon, and returned to Baltimore in 1903 as manager.
In 1907 he received a fine offer to manager to manage the Detroits. Accepting, for three years in succession he piloted the Tigers to the head of the American League, and has made himself the idol of Detroit rooters."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205


DAVY JONES
"Davy Jones, outfielder for the Detroits, was drafted by them from Minneapolis in the fall of 1905 after a varied experience in the minors and with the Cubs. The Tigers have had such a wealth of material that he did non always play the game regularly, but was a good man to call on, and will probably have a regular position in their star outfield in 1911. His batting average for the four years ending in 1910 was .256 and his fielding average .968."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205


ED KILLIAN
"Edward Killian, the southpaw whom Toronto got from Detroit, is expected to strengthen their pitching.
His first season with Detroit was in 1904, and he did a heavy season's work, but finished the season with a slight balance against him on his won and lost record. Since then he has not failed to capture a majority of his games every year. One of his most noteworthy feats was winning both games of a double-header from Boston in late 1909, when the two victories were badly needed."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205


GEORGE MORIARTY
"George Moriarty, the third baseman for whose services the Detroits paid a large sum to the New York Americans in 1908, is an inventor and song writer as well as a ball player. 
He is physically and mentally alert, and one of the American League's fastest men on the paths. He constantly watches the pitcher's handling of the ball. If he is on third and the opposing battery gets careless, is liable to steal home- in 1909 he did this five times."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205


GEORGE MULLIN
"George J. Mullin, Detroit's reliable pitcher, commenced his diamond career when only eighteen years old with the Wabash Club in 1898. After two years with them he played one year each with the South Bend and Fort Wayne teams, then joined with the Detroits.
He is a steady worker and goes to the mound in a good share of their games, generally turning in a win. For a pitcher he is a good batter and has reached the .300 mark."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205


CHARLEY O'LEARY
"Charles O'Leary, one of the Detroit Americans' infielders, is a native of Chicago, and picked up his base ball experience with the strong independent teams about that city. In 1900 he was on the roster of the Chicago White Sox, and after a couple of years with the Des Moines team came back to the majors with Detroit in 1904. He has done much good work for them in their pennant winning years."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205


BOSS SCHMIDT
"Charles Schmidt, catcher of the Detroit Americans, though not old in years, has had considerable base ball experience. He started on the diamond in the Missouri Valley League in 1902. In 1904, his best year with the Springfield, Missouri, team, he batted .296 and the Minneapolis management procured his release.
He stayed only one year in the American Association, and beginning with Detroit in 1906 has caught the majority of their games."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205


OSCAR STANAGE
"Oscar Stanage, catcher for the Detroit Tigers, is twenty-five years old and a resident of Los Angeles, California. He came directly from San Jose High  School, where he had been a shining light on the school team, to the St. Louis Nationals in 1908. The Cardinals released him to the Cincinnatis, who in turn let him go to Newark of the Eastern League. In 1908 his work for Newark, when he caught effectively in more than two-thirds of their games, brought him back into the major league fold on the roster of the Detroits."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205


EDGAR SUMMERS
"Edgar Summers, one of Detroit's regular pitchers, first won his spurs with the Indianapolis Reserves, a strong independent team. In 1907 he played for Indianapolis of the American Association and his work attracted the notice of the Detroit management, who secured the use of his services after that season.
The victories he turned in for the Tigers materially helped him to win the American League in 1908 and 1909, Summers ranking second and third, respectively, among their pitchers for those two years."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205


ED WILLETT
"Edgar Willett, a valued member of Detroit's staff of twirlers, is young in years but has put up some good records to his credit.
In 1905 he was picked up by the Wichita Club of the American Association and helped them win the pennant that year. He first appeared with Detroit in September 1907. The following year his winning percentage of .625 helped the Tigers win a second pennant. In 1909 the 22 games he won were again in the service of putting them at the head of the American League for the third time."
