Item Description
2-3/8x2-7/8". Issued continuously from 1934 to 1936, the National Chicle Diamond Stars (R327) set consists of 108 cards. Each card features a color art rendering of a player photograph, usually "in action," along with his name. The precise year of issue is deciphered by player statistics printed on the reverse - which also display a biography or big league tip - which is printed on a green or blue background. Pie Traynor received his nickname as a child in Somerville, Massachusetts, because he frequented a grocery store and often asked for pie. The store owner called him "Pie Face", which was later shortened to Pie by his friends. He spent his entire MLB career with the Pittsburgh Pirates as a player and manager, 1920-1939. He was a two-time All-Star and World Series champion in 1925. Pie Traynor was inducted in the National Baseball Hall Of Fame in 1948.
