Johnny Vander Meer 1938 Polo Grounds back with slug- 8th straight win.jpgCongrats to all of the people that managed to pull off some Henry Yee wins.

Definitely not a HR, but I did pick up one nice photo of Johnny Vander Meer from June 22, 1938 at the Polo Grounds for a very reasonable price, which is a great fit for my JVDM collection.

Only a little over a week after JVDM's 2nd consecutive no-hitter, he returns to NY for the first time. Vandy gets hit around some, but manages to get his 8th consecutive win in 1938 at The Polo Grounds. I think the panoramic view of the fans in the bleachers is a classic one.

BTW, congrats to whoever won the Type I photo of Berra's leap into Don Larsen's arms after the World Series Perfect Game. Sadly, I ended up being the underbidder on that lot. That's for sure one that I wish I had won. It's the first time I have seen this particular version of the iconic scene. Did anyone on net54 win this one?
