Dorner was a pitcher, and a bit wild apparently. He was usually up there in walks and hit batters, but did manage a 29-8 minor-league season in 1905, earning a big league contract for the following season. Alas, reality kicked in as the young hurler joined the futile Boston club of the National League who would go on to finish dead last at 49-102, 66.5 games behind the 116-win Chicago Cubs. Dorner would go 8-26 that year. He hung around the big leagues for a few more years, never winning more than he lost. This card shows him as a member of the minor league Kansas City club. Graded 3 VG by PSA.
