A towering figure in early baseball history, Clark Griffith made his mark as a standout pitcher, player-manager, and eventual owner of the Washington Senators. His influence on the game stretched across more than 60 years, but in the T206 set, he’s captured in his playing days—specifically in this rare batting pose, which stands out among the handful of Griffith images featured in the legendary series.
