About the Player

John J. McGraw says: “Over in the American League this willingness of the umpires to throw out a ball started with the sad accident in which Ray Chapman was killed by a ball pitched by Carl Mays. I am told that someone had objected to 210 My Thirty Years in Baseball the ball that day, but that the umpire did not see fit to throw it out. Instead of going as intended, the ball “sailed” and Chapman was hit. Since then the umpires take no chances. In a way one cannot blame them.”

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".
