Vito Tamulis made his major league debut for the Yankees at Shibe Park in 1934, against a feared lineup.  Tamulis pitched a complete game shutout, in what would be his only game that season.  Illness kept him in the minors in 1936 and 1937, after which he was traded to the Browns.  Ultimately, as was the case with many other ballplayers of his generation, the war cut his career short, and relegated him to coaching after he returned.  The card originates from the Shibe Park collection of autographed cards, an original owner collection carefully collected by a teenage boy who, in 1939 and 1940, obtained many autographs from players arriving at the train station near Shibe Park, and continued for many years to obtain signatures in person and through the mail.  He passed away in 1974.
