1) TWO ORIGINAL, CHILDHOOD TYPE 1 PHOTOS OF DUKE SNIDER FROM HIS ESTATE. They fit nicely with my Mantle, Williams, FELLER and BABE(later printed-20S).
2) BABE RUTH TYPE 1 PHOTO OF 1918 WS, GAME 1. Ruth pitched this game. This series was the last one Boston Won for many years as we all know(HENCE-THE CURSE OF RUTH).
This had a bunch of black press ink/paint that came right off and matted out to this(just over 5x7). I am VERY happy with the result. I am not sure if I have seen an original of this other than this copy so VERY happy that it cleaned up! A great piece of history that I wil now protect
WIKIPEDIA:
"Game 1 of the 1918 World Series marked the first time "The Star Spangled Banner" was performed at a major league game. During the seventh inning stretch, the band began playing the song due to the fact the country was involved in World War I. The song would be named the national anthem of the United States in 1931, and during World War II its playing would become a regular pregame feature of baseball games and other sporting events. The winning pitcher of Game 1 was none other than Babe Ruth, who pitched a shutout.
1918 would be the last Red Sox World Series Championship until 2004. The drought of 86 years was often attributed to the Curse of the Bambino. The alleged curse came to be when the Red Sox traded the superbly talented but troublesome Babe Ruth (who was instrumental in their 1918 victory) to the New York Yankees for cash after the 1919 season."
PS: LOVE THE DUDE IN THE BACK LOOKING ON.
