Clydell is not a common name, and according to the name search on the Social Security website its never really been. However, one of the better pitchers on the 1933 Durham Bulls was a 19 year old by the name of Clydell Castleman. He went by Slick.
He would end up pitching for the Giants during the second half of the 1930s. In 1935, he won 15 games for the Giants, and in 1936 he would help them win the National League before losing to the Yankees in the World Series.
Along the way there were a few Clydell "Slick" Castleman baseball cards. Some are a little pricy just because they are from the 1930s. However, I recently was able to find a 1936 Goudy Wide Pen Premium of the former Giants pitcher. Here is a scan of the card front.....
I am not sure why they are dubbed "wide pens", perhaps something to do with the signature on the front. These were also more baseball cards for the sake of being a baseball card than the plain Goudey cards, which were actually a card game. They also have a glossy finish over the photo.
Here's the back, plain with no words like "Double" or "Wild Pitch".
Not a very expensive card, and another successful addition to my developing collection of older Durham Bulls players. Also the first 1936 Goudey Wide Pen card in my collection. The set has a pretty long checklist, and some solid names for not very much money.
Don't recall knowing anything about Castleman... or this cool vintage Goudey set. The quality of that photograph is pretty awesome! Gonna have to find some of these on COMC.
ReplyDeleteThere are a fair number of these on COMC for less than $10. Definitely worth adding one to the collection.
DeleteI too have always wondered why they were called wide pen's?
