I'm not much of a program collector but I recently picked up these Yankees programs even though they were not in the best shape. Vintage baseball history trumped condition in this case.
May 5, 1936: NY Yankees vs St. Louis Browns The Yankees beat the Browns 8-2 in front of only 8,000 fans this day. A young Joe DiMaggio, wearing #9, plays in his second career game ever and gets 3 hits and 2 RBI's. Lou Gehrig, on his way to an MVP season, has 4 hits in the game too. 1936 Yankees Scorecard.jpg May 5 1936 Yankees Scorecard.jpg The_Los_Angeles_Times_Wed__May_6__1936_.jpg The_Des_Moines_Register_Wed__May_6__1936_.jpg August 3, 1937: NY Yankees vs Chicago White Sox (Game 1 of DH) The Yankees beat the White Sox 7-2 on the strength of three HR's in the game by future HOFers Gehrig, Lazzeri & DiMaggio. I didn't know at the time I purchased it that this was also game 1,900 of Lou Gehrig's consecutive game streak and it was "Lou Gehrig Day" at Yankee Stadium as the team presented him with his 1936 MVP trophy between games. 1937 Yankees Scorecard.jpg August 3 1937 Yankees Scorecard.jpg The_Philadelphia_Inquirer_Wed__Aug_4__1937_.jpg Lou Gehrig Getty I.jpg Lou Gehrig Getty II.jpg
