The very first edition of "Inside the Blue Shirt - Official Guide and Yearbook of the New York Rangers" features Ranger legends Lester Patrick and Frank Boucher on its cover, and 96 pages of photos, features, information and statistics; along with career records for every player in New York Ranger history to that point. The '47-48 season was to be an eventful one for the Rangers, as newly acquired Buddy O'Connor (via a trade with Montreal) would finish 2nd in the scoring race and capture the Hart Trophy, leading his team into the playoffs (ahead of the Canadiens) for the first time in six seasons. The year also saw center Billy Taylor given a lifetime suspension for gambling after playing only two games for the team. The yearbook, which has been autographed inside by Hall of Fame goaltender Chuck Rayner, is complete and in about VG/EX condition overall, with light cover wear and white pages.
