About the Player
John J. McGraw says: “Hugh Jennings and I became pals immediately. We have been ever since. He is now my first lieutenant in the management of the Giants. Jennings was a red headed, freckle-faced kid and fresh, like myself. We took to each other the first time we met, both of us having the same ambitions and aspirations. We were allowed to room together and this close association and chance to exchange ideas was of great benefit to both of us. Hughey and I have been pals all our baseball lives. We became separated when he took the manage ment of the Detroit Tigers, but the moment he retired from that position I offered him his present job so that we could continue to be together.”
About the Series
T206 size, Our Guy cards burst with color, front and back. Each card shows the player in fine detail and color, just as T206-era artists might have liked their work to appear had the technology been available. We consider it a subset of Helmar T206. This series has 179 cards at 1.625' x 2.65'. Twenty of each card were made. Included within this series is a subset of 2.5' dexterity puzzles that act as colorful game pieces. Each puzzle was produced in a quantity of 27. There is one card of Sam Crawford that was made with the 'dancing cigars' back that is found in the Helmar t206 series. It was made as a test back but did not proceed to production. It is in a West Coast private collection at this time.
