3 Signed Photos Capturing Some of Baseball’s Most Dramatic Moments.
Lot 90. 3 Signed Photos Capturing Some of Baseball’s Most Dramatic Moments. This group comprises sepia 8” x10” photos autographed by the participants in three of baseball’s most famous events. (Note: Some fans, depending on their team, may view these events as infamous instead.) The autographs are all bold gem mint 10s. In Game 4 of the 1941 World Series, Brooklyn catcher Mickey Owen, a usually reliable All-Star, allowed what should have been a game-ending third strike to get past him. Before Owen could retrieve the ball, Yankees batter Tom Henrich was safe at first. The Yankees rallied to win the game and then captured the series in five games the next day. Owen and Henrich both signed a photo capturing the moment. In 1946 World Series Game 7, Enos Slaughter made his successful “Mad Dash” from first to home on a single to score the run that gave St. Louis the series over Boston. Slaughter signed a photo that shows him sliding home as Roy Partel goes after Johnny Pesky’s throw as the Cardinals Marty Marion looks on. Partel and Marion also signed. The third photo pictures the Giants’ Bobby Thomson just after connecting for the “Shot Heard ‘Round the World” off Ralph Branca in the game that settled the 1951 N.L. pennant race. The photo has the signatures of both men. Wonderful collection for a game room or sports bar! LoA from James Spence. Authenticated also by Kevin Keating.
Winning Bid $168.
