Portrait of Sam Jethroe, outfielder for the Boston Braves. Bowman series. Printed on back: "Sam Jethroe. Outfield, Boston Braves. Born: East St. Louis, Ill., Jan. 20, 1922. Height: 6-1. Weight: 178. Bats: both. Throws: right. Some say that Sam is the fastest man in baseball. He came up through the Dodger farm system, playing two years in the minors--both at Montreal. He hit the ball well over .300, and was way up in the run scoring department. His fleetness of foot enabled him to set up a new record for stolen bases. Braves bought his contract for 1950. No. 248 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."
