About the Player
John J. McGraw says: “Addie Joss was another of the star pitchers of the American League along with Johnson. He was what ball players knew as a thinking pitcher. Joss was very tall and had such an easy motion that he could keep the ball on top of the batter all the time without the latter realizing that he was being fooled. Against Joss the ordinary batter was always on the defensive instead of the offensive. He knew the weaknesses of his opponents and played them as a cat would a mouse. Addie Joss was indeed a great pitcher. He was one of the best-loved men in the game. Sadly enough, he died while still quite young.”
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”. Note: #42-53 have a population of 23. All others were limited to 20.
