Daniel Moeller was an American professional baseball player and an outfielder in the Major Leagues from 1907–1908 and from 1912–1916. During his career, he played for the Pittsburgh Pirates, Washington Senators, and Cleveland Indians. In 704 games over seven seasons, Moeller posted a .243 batting average (618-for-2538) with 379 runs, 15 home runs, 192 RBI, 171 stolen bases and 302 bases on balls. He led the American League in strikeouts in 1912 and 1913. Defensively, he recorded a .939 fielding percentage playing at right and left field. The B18 Blankets were one of the more unique collectibles to come out of the tobacco card era. These 5-1/4"-square flannels were issued in 1914 wrapped around several popular brands of tobacco. The flannels, whose American Card Catalog designation is B18, picked up the nickname blankets because many of them were sewn together to form bed covers or throws. Different color combinations on the flannels exist for all 10 teams included in the set. They were folded to fit into the packages and even today, you can still find them with the original fold marks. Excellent vintage condition. Please see photos for condition as there is minor staining spots on the blanket back.
