Item Description
2-11/16x2-5/16". Similar to the 1937 set, the 1938 Dixie Lids baseball set again features 24 ice cream cup tops. The set holds only six sports stars, four of which are Major Leaguers, with the remaining subjects hailing from Hollywood. The four MLB players are Bob Feller, Jimmie Foxx, Carl Hubbell and Wally Moses.
James Emory Foxx , nicknamed "Double X" and "the Beast", was an American professional baseball first baseman who played 20 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Philadelphia Athletics, Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, and Philadelphia Phillies. A tremendous power hitter, Foxx retired with the second most home runs, behind only Babe Ruth, and fifth-most runs batted in (RBI). His greatest seasons were with the Philadelphia Athletics and the Boston Red Sox, where he hit a then-record 30 or more home runs in 12 consecutive seasons and drove in more than 100 runs in 13 consecutive years. Considered one of the greatest hitters in baseball history, Foxx became the ninth player to win a Triple Crown and set a then-record for most MVP awards with three. Jimmie Foxx was inducted into the National Baseball Hall Of Fame in 1951.
