About the Player
A short bio from the Helmar-R319 card back: A swift man, James plays it shallow in center field. His arm used to be very strong but an injury has weakened it. He makes up for this by releasing the ball very quickly. The same arm injury finished his pitching career but he has made his mark in the field and at the bat. “Cool Papa” split last season between the Kansas City Monarchs and the Detroit Wolves. He was on a tear for both teams, compiling a .384 average. He hopes to match that mark in 1933 with his new team.
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.
Card size: 4” x 6”
