Lefty Gomez
Head-and-shoulders colored portrait of Lefty Gomez, pitcher for the New York Yankees. Play Ball series. Printed on front, in banner along bottom edge: "'Lefty' Gomez." Printed on back: "72. Vernon Gomez. Pitcher. New York Yankees. Born: Rodeo, Cal., November 26, 1910. Bats: Right. Throws: Right. Height: 6'. Weight: 190 lbs. One of the American League greatest pitchers of recent years, and one of its most colorful figures is due for a comeback this year, if the signs are right. 'Lefty' Gomez seems to have regained some of the speed and stuff that made him a top-notch hurler with the New York Yankees. This is his 11th full season with the Yanks. The lean, witty Californian who has won six world Series games for the Yanks while losing none, and has amassed a total of 168 wins against 92 losses, may make this season one of his best. Play Ball. Sports Hall of Fame. Watch for other famous sports stars, famous fighters, tennis players, football heroes, etc. in this series. [Copyright] Gum, Inc., Phila., Pa. Printed in U.S.A."
