1933 Goudey #200 Bill Hallahan
No team banner: this card comes from Goudey's late-1933 press sheets 8-10, which dropped the team-name banner from the front design.
About Bill Hallahan
William Anthony "Wild Bill" Hallahan (1902-1981) was born in Binghamton, New York, and broke into pro ball with the Syracuse Stars after starring in semipro ball; Branch Rickey reportedly predicted the wild-armed lefty would one day "pitch and win a World Series game." Hallahan reached the majors with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1925 and became their ace by 1930, when he led the National League in strikeouts (177) while also topping the league in walks - the source of his lifelong nickname. He led the NL in strikeouts again in 1931 (159, with 19 wins) and paced the league in walks and wild pitches three years running. Over 12 big-league seasons with the Cardinals, Cincinnati Reds, and Philadelphia Phillies, he went 102-94 with a 4.03 ERA and 856 strikeouts. Hallahan was a big-game pitcher for St. Louis's pennant-winning "Gas House Gang" era, going 3-1 with two shutouts and a 1.36 ERA across four World Series (1926, 1930, 1931, 1934), highlighted by twin complete-game shutouts in the 1931 Series against the Philadelphia Athletics and the save that clinched Game Seven. On July 6, 1933, he made history as the losing starting pitcher in the first-ever All-Star Game at Comiskey Park, striking out Babe Ruth before yielding a Ruth home run and taking the defeat.

Frequently asked questions
What is the 1933 Goudey Bill Hallahan card?
It is card #200 of the 1933 Goudey (R319) Baseball set - the 240-card, 2-3/8 by 2-7/8 inch color-art set issued in 1933 with Big League Chewing Gum. It pictures Bill Hallahan with the St. Louis Cardinals.
Why does this card have no team banner?
It comes from Goudey's late-1933 press sheets 8-10, which dropped the team-name banner from the front design - 72 cards in the set share the bannerless look.
Is the 1933 Goudey Bill Hallahan #200 a rookie card?
By modern catalog convention, yes. 1933 Goudey is treated as the hobby's first major nationally distributed gum set, so nearly every card in it carries the rookie-card (RC) designation - a modern label applied retroactively, since many of these players had earlier tobacco, caramel, or strip cards.
How many cards are in the 1933 Goudey set?
240 numbered cards, though collectors usually count 241 collectible cards because #6 Jimmy Dykes exists in an error and a corrected version. Only 239 numbers were in 1933 packs - #106 (Nap Lajoie) was printed in 1934 and issued by mail.
