This I'm guessing is from 1956, although at the moment, I'm not sure why.

This I'm guessing is from 1958. It is similar to an unknown photo this is labeled 1958 American League Champions.

The next two photos are from the Worthpoint link you posted above. Note that my 3 photos do not match either of them.

Lastly, an observation. In around 90% of the NY Yankee team photos which include Whitey Ford that I have , Ford is seated in the first row to the far left, as he is in all 5 of these photos. I guess that was his spot. |
Mike:
I have and agree on your dating of the three photos you have. The other two from Worthpoint I also have. The first I have dated to 1957 and the last one with Rizzuto next to Ford I have as 1954.
Now to curl your hair! I also have a LARGE 15 X 13 1/2 AMERICAN LEAGUE CHAMPIONS 1960 NEW YORK YANKEES as well as one from 1961. I will have to dig them out to show you.
Other of the larger ones I have are:
LARGE 15 X 13 1/2 WORLD CHAMPION 1960 PITTSBURGH PIRATES
LARGE 15 X 13 1/2 LITTLE LEAGUE CHAMPIONS 1960 LEVITTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA
LARGE 15 X 13 1/2 PONY LEAGUE CHAMPIONS 1961 HAMTRAMCK, MICHIGAN
LARGE 15 X 13 1/2 JUNIOR LEAGUE CHAMPIONS 1961 OAK PARK, ILLINOIS
