Portrait of Ewell Blackwell, pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds. Bowman series. Printed on back: "Ewell Blackwell. Pitcher, Cincinnati Reds. Born: Fresno, Calif., Oct. 23, 1922. Height: 6-5 1/2. Weight: 185. Bats: right. Throws: right. Ill health cut down Ewell's effectiveness in 1948 and 1949, but it looks as though the batters are headed for buggy-whip trouble in 1950. Ewell had a 22-8 record in 1947. Won most games, got most strikeouts (193). Hurled a no-hitter. Set up modern NL record for most consecutive games won by right-hander. No. 63 in the 1950 series of baseball picture cards. [Copyright] 1950 Bowman Gum, Inc., Phila., Pa., U.S.A. Picture Card Collectors Club, 5-star Bowman series."
