Comments on this Card
'A favorite player and a nice pose. The colors were a fun experiment.' -Charles
About the Player
A short bio from the Boston Garter Game of the Century card back: Ploughboy Rick Ferrell batted .315 for the Browns last year but he was traded to Boston shortly after the start of this season. Thus he will represent the BoSox in the Game of the Century. Behind the bat Rick is a fine receiver while at bat he is very selective and a tough bird to strike out. The quiet North Carolinian who attended Guilford College is the elder brother of fire brand pitcher Wes Ferrell, which has fans hoping to see the brothers operate as a battery in the big game.
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'.
