Comments on this Card
'This pose of Berger was selected because of the way his body would snake through the entire card.' -Charles
About the Player
A short bio from the Boston Garter Game of the Century card back: Last year as a rookie Oral started 15 games for the Indians, compiling an 8-6 record and ERA of 3.69. This year he has bolstered the Cleveland rotation, joining Wes Ferrell, Mel Harder, Clint Brown, and Willis Hudlin. Has several shutouts already including one-hitter on April 26. Native of Indianapolis, Hildebrand was one of eight children and the first to graduate high school. Before entering professional baseball he attended Butler University and led the school’s basketball team to the 1929 national collegiate championship. Oral’s big hands and long fingers provide extra snap on his pitches.
About the Series
Helmar's Boston Garter tradition of strikingly original artwork takes a giant leap forward in this celebration of the first All-Star game, known at the time as the 'Game of the Century'. Thirty-six players and both managers appear in the joyful Art Deco style that defined the period. For the first time we are hand numbering each card. Just twenty sets are printed and numbered plus four sets of artist's proofs. Each card is 3' x 5'.
