About Heinie Manush
Heinie Manush (born Henry Emmett Manush, 1901, Tuscumbia, Alabama; died 1971) broke into pro ball in 1920-21 with Portland and Edmonton before Detroit purchased him; he debuted with the Tigers in 1923 and blossomed into a star left fielder under Ty Cobb's tutelage, playing alongside Cobb and Harry Heilmann in one of the era's great outfields. A left-handed hitter, he won the 1926 AL batting title at .378, edging Babe Ruth on the season's final day. Traded to the St. Louis Browns (1928-30) and then to Washington in 1930, he helped anchor the pennant-winning 1933 Senators, hitting .336 (second in the AL) while leading the league with 221 hits and 17 triples as Washington reached the World Series against the Giants -- where Manush was ejected from Game 4 for snapping an umpire's bow tie during an argument, prompting Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis to rule that no player could be thrown out of a Series game without his approval. He closed his career with Boston, Brooklyn, and Pittsburgh, retiring in 1939 with a .330 lifetime average, 2,524 hits, and 1,183 RBI over 17 seasons. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame by the Veterans Committee in 1964.

Frequently asked questions
What is the 1933 Goudey Heinie Manush card?
It is card #47 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 Heinie Manush with the Washington Senators.
Is the 1933 Goudey Heinie Manush #47 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.
