Biography

The short bio from the Helmar-R319 card back: The debate rages: Is “Joe” a managerial genius, or does he simply ride the immense talent of the Yankees? It’s easy to begrudge “Marse Joe’s” success. His Yankees tasted the sweetness of a World Series victory in 1932, and more recently, have racked up 4 World Series triumphs in a row—a feat never before accomplished. With the great “Babe” Ruth helping in ’32, and currently, “Lou” Gehrig, “Bill” Dickey, “Red” Ruffing, “Joe” DiMaggio, and “Lefty” Gomez, the Yankee manager sports the best winning percentage ever. “Sure,” “Joe” joked about his role in all that success, “I spend every summer in Atlantic City and only come back to get ready for the World Series.”
