About the Player
From the "This Great Game" card back: When Monte Irvin was finally given a chance to play a full season in the major leagues he batted .312, hit 24 home runs, led the league with 124 RBIs, and finished third in NL MVP voting. He was 32 years old when he did that for the Giants, but he had been playing professional baseball at a high level since he was 18. His years spent in the Negro Leagues didn’t obscure his greatness however, and Monte was respected by his peers, including a young Willie Mays, who idolized his teammate.
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”. Note: #42-53 have a population of 23. All others were limited to 20.
Card size: 4” x 6”
