1933 GOUDEY cards
Hey Guys
Shown here is my real life connection with this Goudey set. Frank O'Rourke coached our High School BB team (Elizabeth, NJ) during the 1950's. I was a Right-Fielder (or Left-Fielder) because I had a great glove and had a very strong and accurate throwing arm. My hitting, at best, was intermittent.  .  TED Z T206 Reference .

Thank you, David. Seems like I should have seen that SABR article before now. My favorite sentence was his "The already knew what I did not."
And the sheet 10 cards do have an update in information on the back. Ted, as to your connection... "intermittent at best," surely that's an understatement.

I think you're doing yourself a disservice. I'm sure the Yankees could've used you last season, as I'm sure you would've been better than Aaron Hicks!

Sheet #9 (card numbers 97-99, 128-129, 142, and 214-241) has many of the cards that feature my favorite artwork seen in the Goudey set.

Can someone explain something that has always bugged me about Goudeys: some cards seem to meticulously reproduce team names on both the uniforms and the hats, while others are conspicuously missing any team insignia at all. I love the Gehringer card but I wish his cap had the old English D on it.
Any reason why so many players are missing their team names on uniforms and caps? If it were today you'd think they hadn't paid for the rights to use the team names.

That's a really interesting sheet, Brian. I realize when looking at it that most of my favorites from the set are on there.

Fritz Schulte
Fred W. "Fritz" Schulte. Center fielder for the Washington Senators in 1933-1935. 1,241 hits and 47 home runs in 11 MLB seasons. He had a career OBP of .362. He debuted with the St. Louis Browns in 1927. His best year was 1932 for St. Louis as he posted a .373 OBP with 106 runs scored in 639 plate appearances. He also posted a .366 OBP with 98 runs scored in 622 plate appearances in 1933 as Washington won the AL pennant. He finished his career with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1936-1937.
Schulte's SABR biography talks to his 1933 season: Spring training in 1933 took place during what was the low point of the Great Depression. In March, an estimated 15.8 million people out of the nation’s civilian workforce of 51.5 million were without jobs. Major-league attendance had fallen from 10.1 million in 1930 to less than 7 million in 1932, so the outlook for the 1933 season was bleak. Yet thanks to Washington’s run to the AL pennant, Griffith Stadium attracted 60,000 more paying customers, even as attendance in both leagues fell to a decade-low 6.1 million in 1933. The Senators’ home attendance was second only to that of the second-place Yankees. A 13-game winning streak in August separated Washington from New York. By mid-September, the Nats had a 10-game lead over the Yanks. They wound up winning 99 games and finishing seven games ahead. The December trade that sent Schulte to Washington was of no immediate help to the Browns, who finished last with 55 wins. Schulte got off to a hot start and had his average over .400 as late as May 10. Despite missing time after breaking a finger, he was still hitting .330 in late July. By then the rest of the Washington lineup was picking up any slack. Schulte hit and fielded well enough that fans soon stopped lamenting the loss of (Sam) West (who had been traded away as part of the deal that brought Schulte to Washington). In a potent Senators lineup, Schulte held his own: second in runs scored (98), fourth in RBIs (87), and fifth in hits (162, one behind Goslin). On a team with four regulars who hit .302 or higher, Schulte’s .295 was just sixth-best. As a team, Washington hit a league-leading .287. https://www.net54baseball.com/attach...1&d=1675594299 https://www.net54baseball.com/attach...1&d=1675594302 https://www.net54baseball.com/attach...1&d=1675594304 https://www.net54baseball.com/attach...1&d=1675594308 Last edited by GeoPoto; 08-30-2023 at 08:46 AM.
