Default Dimaggio's streak, game #22

Posted By: Steve F

Thanks to Paper of Record, I was able to match up the box scores of the other games showing on the scoreboard. It took a while.

I'm very fortunate to cop three NM, original and quite clear snapshots, that a fan took June 7, 1941 at 2:15PM (Prewar by 6 months exactly). A less than half-full Sportsman's Park StL.

4.5" x 2.75" sepia

This shot clearly depicts the Clipper in the batters box in the third inning about to hit a single (Keller on deck). I particularly like that the woman is scoring the game! Enjoy
