This is a new addition to my collection. Just picked this card up at a show on the weekend.

For a few seasons, George Selkirk was the only Canadian born player in the majors and was the only Canadian to appear in the first O-Pee-Chee baseball card set in 1937. The cards featured English and French bios on the back.

Selkirk replaced Babe Ruth in right field for the Yankees and had several excellent years at the plate. He also took over the Babe's #3 uniform number and was a member of 5 World Series winning teams. He had over 100 RBIs twice and retired in 1942 with a career .290 AVG, .400 OBP and 127 OPS+.

Happy birthday to Terry Puhl! His name probably doesn't mean much to most American baseball fans (unless you're from Houston) - but when I started following baseball as a kid, he was a household name in Canada. It was Terry Puhl, a soon to be retired Fergie Jenkins, and that was it.
