I was looking around on Ebay the other day for Philadelphia A's stuff and ran across this 1936 R313 National Chicle Jimmy Dykes card for less than $20.00. I thought this was so cool. I know there are several bloggers who would love the play at the plate aspect of it. It feels more like a small poster instead of a card. The condition is a little rough, but I really feel like this thing is pretty awesome!
Jimmy Dykes (b. 1896 - b. 1976) played in the majors from 1918 to 1939 for the Philadelphia A's and Chicago White Sox. He had 2,256 hits, 108 home runs and a .280 batting average. He won the World Series with the A's in 1929 and 1930. I am a big fan of the 1930 A's, as you all know, so that was another reason I got this card.
I look at this card and I wonder a few things: I wonder which stadium they are playing in; I wonder who the umpire is and I wonder who the catcher is. If anyone can answer these questions, it will be greatly appreciated.
