About the Player
A short bio from the Helmar-R319 card back: The word that comes to mind when thinking of “Campy” is “solid”. Behind the plate he is like an unmovable boulder; pity the poor base runner that needs to get past. As a batsman is superb; his strong arms and wrists can whistle a seed over far away fences regularly. Something about this man anchors a team, bringing out the best through the hot months. In his first year as a regular, 1949, Brooklyn navigated all the way into the World Series. Campy was born in Philadelphia, the Freedom City, on November 19, 1921. He’s grown to 5 feet 9 inches and weighs 190 pounds. He hits and throws right handed all the time.
About the Series
Rough and tumble early 20th century players spring to life in our third series of Helmar Cabinets. We’ve selected some of our favorite historic photos and have artfully colorized the player figures and set them against original backgrounds that evoke the magnificent style of the period. True to the period, the player images are separate and have been pasted to a colorful, ripple-edged scene of a ballpark.Collect this series and you’ll understand why Helmar is called “The Flavor of the Game”.
