About Dutch Jordan
Adolf Otto "Dutch" Jordan (1880-1972) was a Pittsburgh-born second baseman who reached the majors with the Brooklyn Superbas in 1903 and 1904. Over those two National League seasons he struggled at the plate, batting just .208 with a .260 slugging mark in 519 at-bats and no home runs while also seeing time at first, third, and the outfield. Jordan found far more success and longevity in the minor leagues, spending the bulk of a decade-plus career in the Southern Association with the Atlanta Crackers, and also playing for the Chattanooga Lookouts, Memphis Chickasaws, and Dallas Giants of the Texas League. He was a member of the 1907 Crackers club that captured the franchise's first Southern Association pennant, and he later served as Atlanta's player-manager, leading the team in 1909 and into the 1910 season. His T206 card places him in the set's smaller, harder-to-find Southern Leaguers subset, making it a scarcer card than those of the major-league regulars.
