A beautiful #oldschool #Cubs uniform worn by the relatively forgotten INF Heinie Zimmerman. In 1912 he became the 1st unofficial Triple Crown winner in the NL (RBIs were not yet an official stat). See his @sabr bio https://t.co/gX8D1GD0NS @Cubs pic.twitter.com/So8wK8CFca

Heinie Zimmermann
A great Cubs player, but a notorious one. He was run out of baseball for cheating, and he ended up working for New York gangster Dutch Schultz.
