Default RMY winnings

OK. So who stayed up until the end of RMY?
Don't worry. It's OK to admit it. You're among fellow addicts, here.
Congrats to rhys on a spectacular auction with many incredible photos.
So who won what?
I won 3 photos.

1927 World Series action with lou at first. Also happens to be on my birthday.


1924 Fielding image.


1934 Lou and the NY Rangers including hockey HOFers Lester Patrick, Bun Cook, and Bill Cook.
I believe the slug is incorrect. It states that Lou is presenting rings to the Rangers for playing their 400th game since entering the league. Why would you give rings to a team for playing a number of regular games? Doesn't make sense to me.
What I think is going on is this. He is presenting a ring just to Murray Murdoch. Murdoch was known as the Iron Man of Hockey at the time. From the beginning of his career, in 1926, he played 508 consecutive games. He is still number 19 on the all time hockey consecutive games played list. So, he got a ring for game 400, not the entire ranger team. IMO, It would make sense that the Iron Man of Baseball would present a consecutive games played award to the Iron Man of Hockey.





Any other winners.
