About the Player

A short bio from the Helmar-R319 card back: Samuel Earl Crawford was born in Wahoo, Nebraska, on April 18, 1880, hence the moniker that his teammates like to use: “Wahoo Sam.” 1899 is a year that Sam will remember well. Cincinnati in the senior circuit called him up to join the big time. He’s best known as a Detroiter now, having roamed Navin Field’s green pastures with Cobb for some time. He loves to hit triples, in his first year with Detroit he smacked 25 and led the league. Wahoo Sam is a full 6 feet tall and weighs 190 lbs.

About the Series

There have been baseball themed games almost as long as the game of baseball has been around. The first baseball parlour game, for example, was advertised in the December, 1866 installment of Leslie Magazine—just a year after Lincoln's assassination! Hundreds of games since that date have delighted fans. However, never to our knowledge has anyone married baseball stars with the popular hand puzzles that were so popular from about 1890 to 1965—until now. We think that you'll spend more quality time with these games than much of the rest of your collection. 2.5" diameter, two sided, glass both sides.  Note: puzzles #5 Alexander, 6 Walsh, 20 Ewing, 25 Tinker and 27 Wilson were not issued due to a manufacturing error.

27 puzzles of each number have been produced.
