About the Player
The short bio from the Helmar-R319 card back: “Pete” is one of the most outstanding players in the game today. Rube Foster has put outfielder Pete in a leadership role on every one of Rube’s teams in recent years. After the 1910 Leland Giants posted a 123-6 record, Rube brought many of the team members to the Chicago American Giants, installing Pete as captain. Pete led the 1910-11 Cuban Winter League with a .365 average. His throwing arm is a rifle. He can foul off opposing pitchers’ best efforts. He bats left and throws right. He is 5’9” and 170 pounds.
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”
