About the Player
A short bio from the Helmar “This Great Game” card back: The first time Mutt Mantle saw his son play a major league game was also the first time he ventured north of the Mason-Dixon Line. The elder Mantle was proud of Mick, whom he named after Mickey Cochrane, the legendary catcher who helped the A’s and Tigers to several pennants in the 1930s. Mutt and his dad took turns throwing to young Mickey, one from the left side, the other from the right, helping the young ballplayer develop into a fantastic switch-hitter. If Mickey fails to break all the switch-hitting records, it’ll only be because managers order their pitchers to let him trot to first base after four wide ones.
About the Series
The glory of 19th century design is revisited in this series by your friends at Helmar. We've kept the look of the early line drawings but improved them so that the players are recognizable. Yet again, all the artwork is original to Helmar and printed in stunning color. We've chosen a beautiful paper with a soft hand that tested best for the subtle color transitions. Each card is about 3" x 5".
