Cup of Coffee: Moonlight Graham
Moonlight Graham
- Moonlight Graham is the epitome of Cup of Coffee Players. His brief baseball career consisted of two innings only in the field, he never got the opportunity to bat.
- However those 2 innings were celebrated in fiction and on screen though the WP Kinsella novel "Shoeless Joe" and the film adaptation "Field of Dreams"
- The canvas for this Cup is the 1908-09 Rose Company Postcards (PC760). A set that Archie "Moonlight" Graham appeared in as a minor leaguer
- The Caduceus symbol is present to represent Graham's career as a Physician.
- Moon appears top right for Moonlight
- A. Graham for Archibald
- Figure in the bottom left is to show that Graham only played in the field.

This is part of our Original Artwork series dedicated to players who had a #CupOfCoffee in the Major Leagues.
Sketch of Eleanor Engle on a Disposable Coffee Cup a la 1953 Topps
- On June 21 1952 Eleanor Engle signed a contract to play for the Harrisburg Senators (a Philadelphia Athletics Affiliate) of the Class B Interstate League.
- Before Engle got the opportunity to play, National Association President George Trautman issued a ruling banning the signing of Women as Players. This agreement was also upheld by MLB commissioner Ford Frick.
- Topps issued a 1953 Style Card of Eleanor Engle in a retro set 1991 Archives.
- The photo on the card was well circulated in 1952 and shows Engle's "Teammates" seated on the bench but far away from her.
