Another interesting item posted by my friend. I'm guessing this set is mostly actors and actresses. Just curious if anyone knows what set this is and what other athletes are in it.

Frank Hart, Race Walker (pedestrian), from the 1880 Between the Acts set. A rare card, regarded as the first card to depict an African American athlete.

Here's an article on Hart's brief career. 565 miles covered in six days is just crazy, even by today's ultra-marathoner standards. Did not know he also played baseball in Chicago....

This was posted by someone else on my friends FB thread:

Hart played baseball at Saratoga Springs, covering shortstop and third base for the Leonidas Base Ball Club. He also played for Boston's Vendome Hotel's team of colored waiters
