About the Player
A short bio from the Helmar-R319 card back: His teammates call him “Camera Eye,” because no other batter is a better judge of the strike zone. Since 1926, Max has walked over 100 times per season. His walks-per-plate-appearance rate is over 20%, which is the best ever in the Majors. Max doesn’t hit for much power, and his lifetime average is in the .270s, though in ’28 he hit .316. With a bit more punch, this second sacker would be an elite player. A native of Waynesboro, PA, Max stands 5’8” and weighs 166 pounds. He throws right, bats and walks from the left side.
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'.
