About the Player
The short bio from the Helmar-R319 card back: Here’s the “other” hard-hitting first sacker in New York. Known as “High-Pockets”, this 30 year old San Francisco native can poke the pill as far as anyone in the game. He came to the Giants for a cup of coffee back in 1915 as a19 year old. It was slow going for a couple of years and Manager McGraw traded him to Pittsburgh part way through the 1917 season. He must have regretted it right off because Kelly was back with the Giants before the season was over. Since then he’s led the league in homers once and runs batted in twice. His high was just a couple years ago when he smacked in 136.
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”
