About Lyn Lary
Born January 28, 1906, in Armona, California (d. 1973), Lynford Hobart Lary broke in with the Oakland Oaks of the Pacific Coast League in 1925 after turning down dental school, then reached the New York Yankees in 1929 as a highly touted shortstop prospect. He anchored the Yankees infield through the 1933 season, playing alongside Ruth and Gehrig, before moving on to the Red Sox, Senators, Browns, Indians, Dodgers, and Cardinals over a 12-year career (1929-1940). His finest year came in 1931, when he played all 155 games and drove in 107 runs, the most ever by a Yankees shortstop; he later hit .289 for St. Louis in 1936, leading the American League with 37 stolen bases and drawing praise from manager Rogers Hornsby as the league's best shortstop. Ruth nicknamed him "Broadway" for his love of New York theater and sharp dressing. Lary is also remembered for a bizarre April 1931 baserunning blunder in Washington, when he left the field thinking Gehrig had flied out, passing him on the bases and costing Gehrig a home run (ruled a triple instead). Despite playing on strong Yankees teams, Lary never appeared in a World Series. He finished his career with a .269 average, 38 home runs, and 526 RBI over 1,302 games.

Frequently asked questions
What is the 1933 Goudey Lyn Lary card?
It is card #193 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 Lyn Lary with the New York Yankees.
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 Lyn Lary #193 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.
