  Heeee! I've seen the Cardiff Giant, went to visit Cooperstown as a kid, with my grandmother. I think it impressed me more, at the time, than the Baseball Hall of Fame.

• Laura Moncur said:

  This is AWESOME! I had never heard of the Cardiff Giant until today! What a fun piece of history!

• In Memoriam: budderflyman said:

  Yeah, he actually played three seasons for the NY Giants before they figured out he was a fake.

• Michael Hoskin said:

  Then he tried running for public office. Oy, the scandals!

  This site says that her first name was Gertrude? www.jewsinsports.org/profile.asp?sport=baseball&ID=135 She was one of the women who helped establish the women's exhibit at Cooperstown in 1993.

  True. Although the game's innocence was tainted early by a team for which this fellow played, the 1919 "Black Sox". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Sox_Scandal Here's Ray Schalk's page at the Baseball Hall of Fame: baseballhall.org/hof/schalk-ray
