Description: 1948 Baseball's Great Hall of Fame Exhibits - Roger Bresnahan - SGC 4.5On the card - Sold at penny arcades, carnivals, or other places where you might find vending machines, the 1948 Hall of Fame Exhibit Baseball Card Set, consisting of 33 cards, was crafted by the Exhibit Supply Company (ESCO) of Chicago. Among the collection, there are dual cards showcasing Babe Ruth, and the remaining 31 cards feature distinguished baseball Hall of Fame luminaries from the early 1900s. The Hall of Fame Exhibit cards present a monochromatic black and white print. Each card showcases a portrait of a Hall of Fame player, accompanied by the player's name scripted in cursive font. The cards are designed with pillars along the left and right edges, imitating the look of a coliseum, while the top portion bears the title “Baseball’s Great Hall of Fame.” The bottom section of the cards contains biographical details about the player's career. The reverse side of the cards is left blank. Each card measures 3 3/8" by 5 3/8", resembling the dimensions of a standard postcard. It is important to note that these cards were later reprinted. When purchasing, check to ensure that what you are purchasing is, like this card for sale, from the original 1948 set, not a later reproduction. On the Player - Roger Bresnahan initially started his MLB journey as a pitcher, later transitioning to an outfielder, and eventually found his stride as a regular catcher. Across his MLB tenure, Bresnahan maintained a solid .279 batting average after 4,480 at-bats. His significant contributions extended beyond his performance on the field; in 1907, he pioneered the use of protective gear in baseball, introducing shin guards for catchers. Additionally, he was the mind behind the first batting helmet. Even after retiring from active play, Bresnahan continued his involvement in professional baseball. He took ownership of the minor league team Toledo Mud Hens and served as a coach for both the Giants and Detroit Tigers.
