About the Player
A short bio from the Helmar-R319 card back: Josh has won 9 home run titles and 4 batting crowns in 13 full seasons in the Negro Leagues. His lifetime average is .384, tops among all black players. He has hit many homers that measure 600’ or longer, making him the “Black Babe Ruth” and a giant among ballplayers. During the cold winter months Josh can usually be found playing ball in Cuba or Latin America. He likes to keep in top baseball shape the year around and credits his work ethic for his wonderful success.
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”.
