this is so rare it's off the charts....

I have never seen a 3 ring championship box (the rings did not come with the box but I had acquired the rings throughout the years).

Steve, is that Sabathia in the middle row of the team picture?

I'm a little thin on Yankees WS stuff but coincidentally this aerial photo of Yankee Stadium arrived yesterday courtesy of our irreproachable friends at Legendary. It depicts Game 1 of the 1941 World Series. In my six decades I have seen the wonders of Athens and Rome and Lethbridge, Alberta, visited Mayan ruins in Palenque and Oaxaca, and I have walked on the Great Wall of China, but this old ballyard, the House that Ruth Built, is still the grandest edifice my eyes have beheld. When they tear it down I am going to die a little bit.


Picked up this WS program a few years years ago. I was at Game 2 (as I have mentioned about fifty times already on this forum). Mom threw away my original copy.

[IronHorse2130]

I showed this once before but it certainly belongs in this thread. My uncle and I were featured on the front page of the Bergen Record a few days ago and appeared on New Jersey News12. Channel 2 wanted to do a story as well but ran out of time...

Here is a link to the article if anyone is interested!

What a great find! I enjoyed reading the article in the Record. I actually grew up in Northern Valley so your find put a smile on this Ohio guy's face.

The Key to the Yankees success through the years.



Sorry, but I had to do it. Oh how I hate the Yankees.

Hate all you want. That hatred feeds the Yankees and their desire to win. Almost every other owner is thrilled when they are merely able to compete. For the last 36 years, the Yankees have been owned and run, by people who demand to win, not just compete.

Do they spend more? Sure. Their tickets, concessions, parking, and especially, TV revenue, generate more money than the other teams. What do you suggest that they do with that money? Other owners pocket that money. Steinbrenner spends it. When the league charges a luxury tax, he kicks in his share, and other owners pocket that too. They know that their fans will accept losing on a regular basis. Yankee fans won't. Did you know that in the last year reported, only four major league teams lost money. Some losing teams make millions of dollars in profits every year. Steinbrenner has always invested it back in the team.

I have no idea what team you root for. It doesn't matter. Blaming the money is easy, because it can't fight back. But the owners who point to money are using misdirection to convince their fans that their management is not at fault.

Sorry you bought into it.

[prewarsports]

It was a joke so dont get too riled up, but the Yankees have been buying the best players in Baseball since 1919. In the old days it was by paying the minor league teams the highest amount for promising players, now it is through Free Agency. It is not a new thing.

Are they the most successful Franchise in Sports History? Yes

Do they run a great business from a monetary standpoint? Yes

Do they break any rules by buying all the best players in Baseball? No

As a fan do I hate their guts? Absolutely!



Dont take it personally or get upset, just one fans opinion.

Absolutely no problem. I wasn't, and don't, take it personally at all. I assumed your post was good natured as was my reply.

[prewarsports]

FYI, I have lived and died (mostly died) for the Seattle Mariners since I was a tiny kid in the Kingdome in the early 1980's. They will never be the Yankees as a franchise and that is ok, but if they EVER win a single World Series, I PROMISE I will cherish it more than any Yankee fan cherishes any individual championship they have ever won!

[perezfan]

I hear you on that one...

As a Reds fan (and the way baseball is now structured), I seriously doubt I will live long enough to see them win another World Series. I would do well to live another 30 years, and would guess the odds are severely against them winning another one in that time-frame.

At least I lived to see '75, '76 and '90... which was a miracle. I now live in Seattle, and would love to see the Mariners do it too. If it's any consolation, the odds for the M's are much greater than for the Reds. At least they can contend...

Vintage original TYPE I 1927 World Series photograph that Walsh himself hand lettered the caption (he was also a cartoonist). This exact photo was used in his book entitled "Adios to Ghost" that was published more than a decade later.

The cropped and finished version which was used in the aforementioned book...

[perezfan]

That is too cool, Jimmy... incredible photo! But I wonder what Christy Walsh had against the poor guy on the extreme left?

[David Atkatz]

That guy is Walsh.

(Of course your comment may have been sarcastic, and you knew very well that was Walsh.)

[thekingofclout]

the fellow that has a big X on him was New York sportswriter and Lou Gehrig confidant Fred Lieb. Walsh is next to Ruth on the far right.

Best, Jimmy

[perezfan]

Yes... thanx for verifying. I knew it was Walsh on the far right. No sarcasm intended...

[David Atkatz]

Oops...

Right you are, Jimmy.

(I knew that.)

Here I was at the game last night not realizing that I had at the same time obtained new Yankees World Series memorabilia! Had to share.

What a game! What a team!

[Heritage Sports]

Since the Yankees won last night and all is right in the baseball world, I can post this lot sold by Heritage back in October 2005. It's Casey Stengel's line-up card from Game Seven of the 1960 World Series, a nightmare game for Yankees fans. Hopefully last night (and almost a half century since Mazeroski broke our hearts) will take the sting out a bit. Check out all the player changes--you can really get a sense of the desperation. It sold for $5,378 incidentally.

Mickey's Walk off called shot in the '64 Fall Classic. Mickey said this was one of his most memorable home runs.

here is a clip of him talkin' about it.

[GoldenAge50s]

Here is the ticket stub from the game in which Mickey stepped on the sprinkler head, tore up his knee & effectively ended his rookie season--it was just the beginning of his great career despite 18 yrs of injuries.

10/6/52, Ebbetts. Though a lesson in futility. Bklyn turns a rare 3-6-4 DP (Hodges, Reese and Robbie). But Yanks prevail 3-2 in Game 6.

[thekingofclout]

Just like my earlier post showing the before & after images from the 1927 series, comes this vintage original TYPE I 1928 World Series photograph that Walsh himself hand lettered the caption (he was also a cartoonist). This exact photo was used in his book entitled "Adios to Ghost" that was published more than a decade later.

BTW... the Yanks disposed of the Cards in four straight becoming the first team in history to register back to back World Series sweeps.

The raw photo with Walsh's editing marks...

1936 World Champs Ball with Lou Gehrig on the sweetspot and a very rare Rookie Joe D. Very pretty Dizzy Dean Ball as well. Sorry for the shameless plug, as I am selling this to help pay Hunts. Please check the B/S/T thread for pricing...

Remarkable Cap & Facsimile Signed Ball both in Mint Condition.

Here are some of my favorite items from Don Larsen's Pefect Game in 1956:
1) The front of my 1956 game 5 stub- signed by Larsen an noting the final score
2) The verso of the same stub. I never have minded owning a ticket to a historic game where the patron neatly capyures the moment in vintage ink. In this situation, for my collection, I believe that this enhances the appeal.
3) My Larsen Perfect Game signed ball. Check out the inscription, which is pretty rare. It's unusual to see Larsen ever write out the entire inscription "World Series Perfect Game" with the date 10/8/56.
4) An original fan photograph IN COLOR of the scoreboard after the final out. This is a first generation photo printed from the original negative. Virtally every photo of this game that you ever see was shot in B/W. Pretty neat!
5) A Burke/Brace signed postcard of Larsen.

[GKreindler]

GREAT shots of the '36 Series, Anthony. I've always loved those images of Gehrig crossing home plate triumphantly...and really, can you beat a clean Stadium shot from that year?

Good stuff!!

Here's the newest piece in the thread, the ball Matsui hit into the second deck of the right field stands of Game Six. It's a pretty cool story, because the guy who caught it is donating all proceeds to the Haiti earthquake recovery effort (and Heritage is likewise donating its commissions). We also got in touch with Matsui at Angels training camp, and he is autographing the ball next week.

Well I can't come close to matching that one, but here's a classic image of the Ol' Perfessor.

Thanks Craig, for the kind words regarding the 1936 stadium shot and Lou touching home plate after a round tripper.

Here is a 1953 World Series Gene Woodling gets greeted by teammates after a HR.

Like the topic. Elmer Miller was the lead off batter for the 1921 World series and was literally the first Yankee to get a hit in a World series and later on Ruth drove him in being the first Yankee to ever score a run in a world series. The date was october 5, 1921. Have 10 different varieties of cards and he was a relative.

[FourStrikes]

haven't seen one of these before...not sure how scarce they are.
