About the Player
Ty Cobb says: “Few fans realize that Bill Donovan, once the star with the Detroit club, and now the manager of a minor league team, that of Providence, pitched the last two years he was with the Tigers with his arm paining him every time he made a move to throw the ball. "Wild Bill " would wince with each delivery toward the end of a hard game in those days, yet he had more stuff than ever. Bill hurt the wing one day, and it never came back to its true shape. Still, he did not admit its condition to Jennings or any of the players on the team until he could no longer conceal his suffering from the watchful gaze of Jennings.”
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”.
Card size: 4” x 6”
