About the Player
A short bio from the Boston Garter Game of the Century card back: The NL “all star” squad is shipshape at catcher with St. Louie’s Jimmie Wilson and Chicago’s Charles Leo “Gabby” Hartnett, called “The Perfect Catcher” by his former mgr. Joe McCarthy. Gabby started with the Cubs back in ’22 and impressed so much he soon made Bob O’Farrell, a highly respected receiver in his own right, expendable. Broke the record for catchers by swatting 24 HRs in 1925 and turned in best year of career so far in 1930 when he socked 37 homers while batting .339. Owns great arm and throws fearlessly to any base at any time. Native of Woonsocket, Rhode Island, Hartnett has 13 younger brothers and sisters.
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.
