Hey guys,

I still remember Oct 3, 1951, the day Bobby Thomson's 3-run home run for the Giants in the 1951 Play-off game vs the Brooklyn Dodgers that won the NL pennant.
This famous HR was instantly coined the "Shot Heard 'Round the World".

That day my two buddies and I ran from school to my house and switched on the TV just in time when Thomson came to bat in the 9th inning. Lockman and Mueller
were on 2nd and 3rd bases, respectively. Thomson swung at Branca's 2nd pitch......and, the rest of this story is history.

I have come up with 2 "ironic" trivia facts regarding this legendary event. I'll give the 1st guy who replies with the correct 2 answers a T206 HOFer.

One trivia fact is Branca had lost the first game of the 3 game playoff and had given up a homer to Thompson in that game. The other ironic fact is Branca was wearing number 13 that year so he decided maybe it was unlucky and changed it the next year to number 12.

Your first answer about the 1st play-off game's HR by Thomson off Branca is one of the answers I'm looking for.

Your 2nd answer is true; however, it's not the answer I'm looking for.

So try again....there is more irony in the correct 2nd answer than there is in the 1st answer.

Ted, I’m not sure it’s ironic, but I read a biography of Willie Mays last year and learned that he was on deck when Thompson hit it. First base was open, and Willie was not having much recent success against Branch.

Also, I think I read that was the first nationally televised baseball game?

I have a couple of guesses. First guess is if Branca had chosen to walk Thompson since he had already homered off of him, who was the rookie on deck? Willie Mays!
Second guess, who was the league leading RBI hitter that made the first and only out of the 9th inning by popping up? Monte Irvin.

John

It is not the answer I'm looking for, but you bring up a good point. With the tying runs on bases (Lockman and Hartung), Chuck
Dressen (Dodgers Mgr.) should've told Branca to intentionally Walk Thomson. Then perhaps, Willie would have been the "hero".

Incidentally, this was not the 1st televised BB game. I can attest to that because we bought our TV in 1950, and I watched many
BB games on TV that year.

I'm not sure if this is what your thinking of, but despite the high stakes, it was a relatively-disappointing crowd that attended the game. There was a threat of rain and the Giants lost the previous game 10-0, so only 34,320 fans were in attendance. The no-shows missed one of the most legendary games in baseball history.

David

Not what I'm looking for; however, you observation is well stated. The Polo Grounds seating capacity was 55,000.
Can you imagine the regrets of at least 20,000 New York Giants fans that did not attend ?
As you pointed out, the 2nd play-off game discouraged the Giants fans. And, remember this.....in the 1st week of
August 1951 the Dodgers were in 1st place in the NL. The Giants 13 games out. Despite, the Giants unbelievable
comeback that season I think many Giants fans still thought it was hopeless to expect the Giants had a chance to
get into the World Series.


Thanks again for responding, keep trying for the answer.

OK Ted, now I'm really intrigued about your mystery fact. So I did a little searching online, at was very interested to find that ALLEGEDLY, Thompson knew what pitch was coming because the Giants were stealing signs in that game.

Joshua Prager wrote about it in his book "The Echoing Green" in 2006.

So, I'm not sure if that is the trivia you were after, but it sure is interesting. Now I might see if I can find a copy of the "The Echoing Green".

John

As a young teenager, I was an avid reader of The Sporting News, and I never read of any hint that the Giants were stealing signs from the Dodgers.
If there was one iota of truth of this occurring, it would've been revealed back in the 1950's. In my opinion this is an example of revisionist's fiction.

Prager most likely inserted this "myth" in his book (50 years after the event) in order to increase his book sales. Besides, he lived in Brooklyn.... !

In 2001...………
Bobby Thomson has denied that this occurred.

And, Ralph Branca responded to this allegation with......
"I don't want to diminish a legendary moment in baseball. And even if Bobby knew what was coming, he had to hit it. Knowing the pitch doesn't always help."

Thanks again for responding, keep trying for the answer.

Even if this isn't the answer you're looking for, I found this on the web and thought it was great:

There was only one known copy of the famous call. It was October 3, 1951, when Larry Goldberg, a 26-year-old travel agent living with his parents in Brooklyn, set up a reel-to-reel tape deck next to a radio before setting off to work in Manhattan.
He asked his mom to record the 9th inning of the third game of the Brooklyn Dodgers-New York Giants playoffs. What he and my grandmother captured turned out to be the only known recording at the time of Russ Hodges' famous call of Bobby Thomson's game-winning home run, "The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant!"

The night after the game, Goldberg wrote Hodges to ask if anyone at WMCA had recorded the game; if not, he would lend him his. Hodges replied quickly, and used the tape to make records as Christmas gifts. ...

GasHouseGang 11-12-2019 04:43 PM

Ted, one of the things that made me wonder as I read about the series, was why if the Dodgers won the coin toss for home field advantage, they opted to host game one at Ebbets Field which meant the Giants would get to host games two and three at the Polo Grounds. I would have thought getting two games at home would have been preferred. It seems like a curious choice.

David

I cannot understand what Mgr. Dressen was thinking as you point out here. As I noted in my post #817, I more or less fault him for bad decisions which
ended up prevented Brooklyn from winning this 1951 N.L. Play-off series.

I have been a Yankees fan, and there is absolutely no one who was better at Managing a winning team than Casey Stengel, especially from 1949 - 1953.


Here is my favorite piece of artwork depicting the Polo Grounds Left Field stands in the distance in which Bobby Thomson hit his famous Home Run.

OK, a day has transpired with no more responses; therefore, here's the story I'm looking for. Bobby grew up in Staten Island (NY). He excelled in sports in High School,
and especially in BB. This drew the attention of the Dodgers. The Dodgers hired him to play for the Dodgers Rookies (an amateur team made up of young BB prospects
in the NY area).
Furthermore, Bobby played for an Industrial League team. Giants scout, George Mack, spotted Bobby and was impressed with his batting and his fielding in the outfield.
Despite the ongoing interest by the Dodgers, Bobby ultimately signed a contract with the Giants in 1942. Then in 1942, Bobby was drafted into the U.S. Army-Air Corps.

In 1946, Bobby played for the Jersey City Giants. In Sept that year he was called up by the Giants. He batted .315 in 18 games. In 1947, he batted .283 and hit 29 HRs
as the Giants full time centerfielder (138 games).

The failure of the Dodgers to sign Bobby when they had first dibs on him really cost them 10 years later.

Ah, OK...that's pretty good trivia. I had no idea that Bobby Thompson had initial interest from the Dodgers. Yes, had they signed him, it would have changed the course of sports history! (And deprived us all of one of the great sportscaster calls of all time).

Hi John

Was that bit of trivia worth waiting for....or what ?

Stories like Thomson's in Base Ball fascinate me.

For instance, what if Harry Frazee (in 1919), who was having serious financial problems with his Theatre interests,
which caused him to sell Babe Ruth to the Yankees in 1920....had NOT occurred. Would Babe Ruth, not having the
benefit of the Yankees mystique and Miller Huggins, be the mighty legend he was....and still is ?

There are many such stories in BB which has you wondering...."what if" ?

I say this Cobb is definitely a T206....what say you ?

Before you disagree.....consider the following.....the Demmitt or O'Hara (St louis variations) "stand alone", as does this Ty Cobb/ TY COBB card. Therefore,
the argument that this Cobb card is a unique subject (unlike any other T206 cards) does not hold water. Plus, evidence confirms that it was issued in 1910.

Croft & Wilbur 1876 Centennial Liberty Bell
 
4 Attachment(s)
Recently picked up the following piece which I was pretty happy to acquire.

From my research, it is one of the first documented candy containers having been distributed at the first Worlds Fair (Centennial Exposition) in Philadelphia in 1876. The container held candy produced by Croft & Wilbur which was the predecessor to Croft & Allen of E92 fame.

Samuel Croft eventually split up with H.O. Wilbur in the 1880s. Wilbur went on to concentrate on producing Chocolate candy and his company became famous for producing "Wilburs Buds" candies similar to Hersheys kisses.

After the split with H.O. Wilbur, Samuel Croft formed a partnership with George Allen in the 1880s to manufacture candy and cocoa related products that included Croft's Cocoa and Croft's Candy which we are familiar with from the backs of E92 cards.

1904 Worlds Fair - Plows Candy
 
2 Attachment(s)
Didn't even realize this when I posed the Croft & Wilbur Liberty Bell from the 1876 Worlds Fair/Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia but I have another Worlds Fair advertising piece related to the manufacturers of our beloved baseball cards.

Here is a Plows Candy souvenir postcard from the 1904 Worlds Fair in Saint Louis where they were located.

I was doing some research an came back across this incredible thread. I figure it's worth a bump.

I'm surprised to _not_ see any of the original Sporting Life ads featuring T206. Does anyone here have one (or more) of them?

Prior to WWII, the BOWMAN Gum Co. advertised their Sportscards by their "PLAY BALL" Trademark. When BOWMAN introduced their 1st BB card set
after WWII, they continued the "PLAY BALL" Trademark on their wax-pack wrapper.
Stay tuned for 1949 - 1953 issues.


1948 Bowman 1-cent wrapper

http://www.oldcardboard.com/r/r406-1/wrapper-sm.jpg . . . . http://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...manbbsheet.jpg


The printing of the 1948 BOWMAN set is very interesting. The printers took their original 36-card production sheet and produced a 48-card set from it.
In their 1st press runs, they printed cards #1 - 36. For their 2nd press runs, they modified their printing plates by replacing 12 cards in the first group
of 36 with cards #37 - 48.

The 36-card uncut sheet displayed here represents the 2nd print run. Cards #37 - 48 are interspersed among the lower number cards. Therefore, this
process created Double-Prints of 24 low numbers....Single-Prints of 12 low numbers....and, another set of Single-Prints of the 12 high numbers.

1951 BOWMAN 24-count Wax-pack box (this box is actually 3-dimensional. I scanned it in 2 dimensional form in order to completely display it here).
BOWMAN repeated many of the images from their 1950 set, added names on the front of the cards, and printed a tremendous number of these cards.
Note that they advertised "340 major league players"....however, they printed 324 cards in this set.

More good stuff Ted. I really like the variety of your point of sale items and how they tie into your card collection.

I hadn't listed these in this thread yet. A couple extremely large original OBAK wooden shipping crates. Grand kids included in the shot to show just how large these items are.

https://photos.imageevent.com/threet...e/obak%202.jpg


I'll more than likely have a custom lid made for them which will be laid on top of the crates so that they can be used as additional display tables where other related OBAK advertising such as these can be displayed along with them.

Hi Tony

Great OBAK stuff....and your Granddaughters accent the picture beautifully.

Thanks for the kind words, I like the way you framed them.

1952 BOWMAN Football wrapper....note the label on the banner: "GIANT SIZE". In order to compete with the very popular larger size 1952 Topps BB cards,
BOWMAN re-sized their regular set of 1952 FB cards. Then re-issued these larger size cards in the Fall/Winter of 1952.
Shown here is a very rare 32-card uncut sheet of the (1st series) BOWMAN "GIANT SIZE" cards.

very nice
 
hope you will be doing some conservation/restoration on the banner. It deserves it. I dropped out around 3000.00. Great item.

edited to add I'm still looking for something to initiate a trade for that virginia brights mirror piece :-)

Cleaning out old thumb drives and found this picture of a Salada store display. Don't remember where I got the picture or if it has already been posted, but I love pictures of these old displays (like the Woolworth Topps display).

I would prefer to have a T215 BB card with a "PIRATE" back, but until then I'll settle for this one as a type card.

Bob F. - super Bambino tin!
 
Cliff - yes those stains can be dealt with. It is NOT Annie Oakley. I ALMOST tracked down who it was at some point and then LOST THE HANDLE on it - she was I believe famous to some degree tied to the Old West. I have a die-cut porcelain sign with her image.

Bob - I'm curious. Could you show the BOTTOM of the Home Run tin (and any other writing that might be on the sides)???? Never seen that before.
