On November 6, 1925, former Chicago White Sox utility player Hervey McClellan died at the age of 30 after a battle with cancer. McClellan, who played for the White Sox from 1921 to 1924, appeared in 167 games across four seasons, primarily as a third baseman and outfielder. He batted .263 with 4 home runs and 47 RBIs during his brief major league career. The American Caramel baseball card featuring McClellan remains a notable collectible from the era. His early passing cut short what had been a promising role-player career on the South Side.
