About the Player
A short bio from the Helmar-R319 card back: “Ol’ Stubblebeard” was the last spittballer with legal status in Major League baseball. In 1920, when the Big Leagues banned the wet pitch, they grandfathered in nearly two dozen spitballers. With the Pirates in 1934, Burleigh spat out the Slippery Elm for good. Burleigh compiled 270 wins for his career against 212 losses, along with massive amounts of games started, complete games, and innings pitched. He’s now the field general for the Dodgers, who finished 6th last year, winning only 62 games. Maybe Burleigh will teach them a trick or two.
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”
