About the Player
A short bio from the Helmar-R319 card back: Born October 14, 1896, in Indianapolis, Indiana. This fellow has often been compared to the best players in the white big leagues. He’s speedy on the basepaths and can play such a shallow center field that he reminds people of Tris Speaker. A fierce batter, “Charlie” led the Negroes in 1921 by hitting .434 with 14 doubles, 11 triples, 15 home runs and 35 stolen bases. He did all this in just 60 games. Like many of the Negroes, he’s played with a number of different teams. They include the ABC’s of Indianapolis, St. Louis Giants, Pittsburgh Crawfords, Hilldale Daisies and many others. He also enjoys playing in the Cuban league during the winters.
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”
