That's the Detroit Wolverines, a pre-1900 NL team that has no relationship to any MLB franchise.

Salaries they paid then, no way he could afford to live in Maui. Looks like you'll have to find a different Lady.

Enjoy the beach.

How can anyone argue a ATG Lady Baldwin card is of lesser importance than say a Don Kessinger card for the SS challenged 1960's mystery league.

Sez wikipedia:

Nickname
Baldwin was given the nickname "Lady" because of his "quiet ways" and his refusal to swear or to come into contact with either tobacco or liquor

Charles B. "Lady" Baldwin (April 8, 1859 – March 7, 1937) was an American left-handed pitcher. He played six seasons in Major League Baseball with the Milwaukee Brewers (1884), Detroit Wolverines (1885–1888), Brooklyn Bridegrooms (1890), and Buffalo Bisons (1890).

Baldwin had his best season in 1886 when he compiled a 42–13 record and a 2.24 earned run average (ERA), threw 55 complete games, and led the National League with 323 strikeouts. Baldwin's 42 wins in 1886 set the major league record for a left-handed pitcher and remains the second highest single season total by a southpaw. Baldwin also pitched five complete games for a 4–1 record and a 1.50 ERA in the 1887 World Series. Arm troubles cut short Baldwin's major league career at age 31.
