Before viciously killing his young family and himself in 1900 via a murder-suicide, Marty Bergen was a troubled star catcher for the Boston Beaneaters, champions of the National League. Presented is a scarce 1899-00 M101-1 Sporting News Supplement (5/13/99) of the young backstop. This extremely clean picture grades (EX-MT) with lighter than usual paper toning and negligible peripheral wear. The reverse is problem-free and the poignant biography details the problems of the “erratic” player. This item is an impressive antiquity of this enigmatic backstop.
