Last pre-WWII set....let's see some 1941 Play Ball cards & stuff

[glynparson]

When this beautiful set was actually VERY popular, at least in PSA graded condition. I think when nice and bright with good eye appeal these cards are gorgeous. It is still one of my personal favorites.

Nice David. Really wish someone would fill the MJRoop void and produce set specific archival binders.

Hey guys

Some great stuff....I knew there were some '41 Play Ball collectors on this forum......thanks guys

David....very impressive display of your set and related stuff.

Anthony....I love those uncut sheets and panels you posted.


Speaking about the 1941 season, it was the start of the NYC "Subway Series". The Dodgers and Yankees would go on to play some really thrilling World
Series (1941, 1947, 1949, 1952, 1953, 1955 and 1956).

The 1941 World Series had an interesting event in the 4th game. In the top of 9th inning the Dodgers were set to win the game with 2 Outs & 2 Strikes
on Tommy Henrich. Hugh Casey pitched a curve that Tommy swung and missed. The ball got away from catcher Mickey Owen. Tommy got to 1st base.
Joe DiMaggio followed with a single, Charlie Keller hit a double to drive in Henrich and DiMaggio. Bill Dickey Walked....then Joe Gordon doubled to drive in
Keller and Dickey. Yankees won 7–4.

In the 5th game Tommy hit a HR to help the Yankees win the World Series.
