Biography

A short bio from the Helmar-R319 card back: Elmer Dean still contends that he’s a better ballplayer than his brothers, St. Louis stars “Dizzy” and “Daffy.” After a tryout with the Houston Buffaloes last spring, Elmer was offered a job as a batboy, but stuck around as a peanut salesman. Elmer’s lusty bellow, “Buy a goober!” sold thousands of pounds of nuts. Elmer is cultivating his chin whiskers, as he is on the mound for the House of David team. Hopefully the team will pause at some tall buildings because Elmer is fascinated by elevators.
