About the Player
A short bio from the Helmar “This Great Game” card back: 18-year old Mr. Kaline was wearing his prom suit at his parents’ kitchen table when he put his name on his first contract with the Detroit Tigers. Two years later, Al was a batting champion, the youngest in major league history. The winter before capturing the batting crown, Kaline heeded the advice of Ted Williams and squeezed a rubber ball to strengthen his wrists. Teddy Ballgame picks Al as “the most complete righthanded batter in the league,” and if anyone knows, it’s Williams.
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.
