About the Player
A short bio from the Boston Garter Game of the Century card back: Last year “Poosh ‘Em Up Tony” helped the Yankees win their third Worlds Championship and fourth AL pennant since 1926. Lazzeri, who has always displayed good power for a second baseman, hit 2 home runs in the concluding fourth game of the World Series to nail the Cubs’ coffin shut. Before coming to New York he hit 60 homers and racked up 222 RBI in one season (1925) for Salt Lake City. Tony was tarred for striking out with the bases loaded in the seventh inning of Game Seven of the 1926 World Series, but mgr. Huggins defended him, saying, “Anyone can strike out, but ballplayers like Lazzeri come along once in a generation.”
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.
