Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Fall 2011
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 11/1/2011
Yankees legends Joe DiMaggio, Yogi Berra and Phil Rizzuto are featured in this lot of 25 team-issued pictures from the 1947 World Series champions. Each of these vintage 9” x 6 1/2” headshots of the Yankees players, coaches and manager Bucky Harris feature their facsimile signatures. DiMaggio, Rizzuto, Berra and Harris make it four HOFers in this collection along with Chandler, Brown, Corriden, Colman, Crosetti, Dressen, Gumpert, Harris, Henrich, Houk, Bill Johnson, Don Johnson, Keller, Lindell, McQuinn, Page, Reynolds, Robinson, Shea, Silvestri, Stirnweiss and Bill Bevens, who came within one out of pitching the first no-hitter in World Series history only to lose Game 4 on a two-out hit in the ninth by Brooklyn’s Cookie Lavagetto. These crease-free beauties remain in wonderful condition, really nicely preserved considering they have been around for 64 years! These great 1947 Yankees pictures come with their original envelope with the Yankees’ top hat logo in the upper left corner. The envelope has torn edges but remains intact and essentially complete. A grand slam for Yankees/HOF collectors!
