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.
