About the Player
A short bio from the Boston Garter Game of the Century card back: Player-manager Bill Terry, who took over halfway through last season for the retiring John McGraw, has the New York Giants in the thick of the 1933 NL pennant chase. One player Bill never has to worry about is himself. There’s no better fielding first sacker in the league, nor any batter who smashes stinging line drives more consistently than he. Each of the previous 4 seasons Terry has racked up more than 200 hits and 100 runs batted in, and he won the batting title in 930 with a gaudy mark of .401. Al hurlers are advised to pitch him carefully.
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.
