About the Player

You know Mr. Mack was desperate when he was willing to part with Al Simmons last year in exchange for mere lucre. After all, Simmons is Mack’s all time favorite. And why not? “Bucket Foot Al” is a fine outfielder and the best hitter the A’s ever had. He batted better than .380 4 times with Philadelphia, won the 1930 and 1931 batting titles, and was named league MVP in 1929 when the A’s won their first pennant since 1914. Simmons is still adjusting to Comiskey’s longer fences but being reunited with Mack for the big AL vs. NL exhibition is sure to rejuvenate him.

About the Series

Seven layers make up a Helmar Oasis card. Each layer has to fit perfectly. It takes a long time to construct each card, then scuff it to make it seem well-worn; it's already well-loved, by us. Oasis is designed to evoke the Gaslight Style, a name applied to commercial trade signs of the 1870's through 1890's, in an era that succumbed to electric light. The essence of Helmar Oasis is depth. The pictures of the players arise in a shadowy light, to seem like they're almost emerging from another plane of existence. Each card is about 2.65' x 4'.
