About the Player
A short bio from the Boston Garter Game of the Century card back: Harold Joseph “Pie” Traynor is considered by most experts to be the greatest third baseman ever. Traynor has the record to back up such an opinion. Now in his 14th season, all with the Pittsburgh Pirates, Pie has batted over .300 8 times, including a string of 6 consecutive years when he averaged .342. The Framingham, MA native also has no equal as a defender of the Hot Corner. Possessor of a tremendous arm, Traynor frequently leads the league in Put Outs and DPs and is death on bunts and slow choppers. He hit a home run off the great Walter Johnson in the 1925 World Series and will be a tough out against the AL stars in the Game of the Century.
About the Series
Seven layers make up a Helmar Oasis card. Each layer has to fit perfectly. It takes a long time to construct each card, then scuff it to make it seem well-worn; it's already well-loved, by us. Oasis is designed to evoke the Gaslight Style, a name applied to commercial trade signs of the 1870's through 1890's, in an era that succumbed to electric light. The essence of Helmar Oasis is depth. The pictures of the players arise in a shadowy light, to seem like they're almost emerging from another plane of existence. Each card is about 2.65' x 4'. Gouache paintings by J. Scott Pedely.
