About Owen Carroll
Owen Thomas "Ownie" Carroll (b. Nov. 11, 1902, Kearny, NJ; d. June 8, 1975) arrived in the majors already a legend: at the College of the Holy Cross he went 50-2 from 1922-25, with perfect seasons of 8-0, 11-0 and 16-0 and a 15-inning complete-game win over Harvard, making him one of the most celebrated college pitchers of the era. The right-hander debuted with the Detroit Tigers in 1925 and pitched nine big-league seasons for the Tigers (1925, 1927-30), Yankees (1930), Reds (1930-32) and Dodgers (1933-34), finishing 64-90 with a 4.43 ERA and 311 strikeouts in 1,330 innings. His best year came in 1928 (16-12, 3.27 ERA for Detroit); he also twice led the league in losses, going 9-17 in 1929 and 10-19 in 1932. Carroll is remembered for the string of Hall of Famers who changed hands alongside him in trades — he went to the Yankees in a deal for Waite Hoyt, was later dealt from the Reds to St. Louis for Jim Bottomley, and moved to Brooklyn in the trade that sent Dazzy Vance to Cincinnati. By 1933, his Goudey card year, he was a rotation piece for a Dodgers club that finished sixth in the NL. After his playing days, Carroll became head baseball coach at Seton Hall, running the program from 1948-72 with winning records in 21 of 25 seasons; the school's field is named Owen T. Carroll Field, and he was inducted into the National College Baseball Hall of Fame in 2008.

Frequently asked questions
What is the 1933 Goudey Owen Carroll card?
It is card #72 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 Owen Carroll with the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Is the 1933 Goudey Owen Carroll #72 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.
