This was a World Championship year for the Washington Senators; the only one that The Big Train ever won. This is the game that launched the Senators' push towards their eventual championship...

Jeez Scott. You're on a longer streak then DiMaggio ever had!
BTW... When in the hell did you get that Johnson/Bain Photo?
IMO that is the finest of all Johnson images. And a helluva ticket as well!
I picked up this c. 1960's vintage original Elektra Records promotional photograph featuring Jim Morrison of The Doors. This 8 1/2" x 11 photo has a "Gloria Stavers Collection" stamp on the reverse and comes from her estate. Stavers was the former Editor of 16 Magazine, and a very early supporter of The Doors, as well as a former lover of Morrison... but then again, who wasn't.
