Default Gotta love a guy named " Moose "




....just picked up the faded and worn 1933 Worch ; call me suspicious but the photos used for the cards look a little bit similar ; He's pictured wearing an athletics uniform but in 1934 he was playing with the Chicago White Sox ; I guess the Wheaties ( Gold Medal Foods ) guys didn't want to spend any extra money for a current photo since it was the depths of The Depression.After one year with the White Sox he pitched for the 1935 Brooklyn Dodgers and then in 1936 wound up his last year with the St. Louis Cardinals ( His manager then was Frankie Frisch , age 38 ; Moose was 36.) "Moose"... I like that.
