About the Player

A short bio from the Helmar “This Great Game” card back: Has more pitches than anyone else in the game: Early throws a fastball, curve, changeup, and a knuckler, but can toss each of them at fast, medium, and slow speeds. Learned the curveball from teammate Mel Harder and added it to his repertoire to frustrate batters. Wynn is one of the quickest workers on the hill, a no-nonsense guy on game days. “That space between the white lines, that's my office, that's where I conduct my business,” says Early. Was 17 years old when he showed up for a tryout with the Senators, and Early was wearing his overalls when he showed the scouts what he could do.

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". Gouache paintings by J. Scott Pedely.
