HALL OF FAME - CLASS OF 1953

Dizzy Dean was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1953. Allen & Ginter is the one modern set that regularly puts pre-war legends on Victorian-style card stock, and Cardinals Hall of Famers move steadily in it.

Why This Card Matters

The card back lists Dean's career in the set's spelled-out style: 317 games, 150 wins, 83 losses, 1,967 1/3 innings and a 3.02 ERA. He was the last National League pitcher to win 30 games in a season, taking 30 in 1934 for the Gashouse Gang team that won the World Series, and he was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1953. St. Louis signed him as a free agent in 1930. This is the standard-size base #42, not the Mini, Silver Portrait or Tin Type versions.
