1951 World Series photo
Recent pick up from the last RMY auction. I really like photos of Yankee Stadium, especially when adorned for the World Series.
What appealed to me about this one is that it is from Game 1 of the 1951 World Series and shows rookie Willie Mays coming to bat and rookie Mickey Mantle playing right field. That made this one special to me as there likely are not too many game action photos from their rookie year with both Mantle and Mays in them    Mantle is small out there in right field, but is easier to see when holding the photo in hand.

Very cool pick ups so far this month. Congrats to all.
Thought I'd sprinkle a little on the football side. This oddity arrived today. A circa 1954, Los Angeles Rams King Crusher bucket hat that once belonged to a man name Henry Schmidt, who was head athletic trainer at Santa Clara University for 50 years. He also worked with the L.A. Rams and San Francisco 49ers. This is one of two hats I picked up from the Schmidt estate, both with dozens of signatures of former Ram and 49er greats and various other dignitaries. No idea of the origin and no certificate of authenticity but there are so many diverse names on here...known and unknown...Hard to believe they would be fake. Even if they are, I'm still happy to own it. Signatures include...Norm Van Brocklin, Elroy Hirsch, Tom Fears, Tank Younger, Les Richter, Hampton Pool, Big Daddy Lipscomb, Woodley Lewis, Duane Putnam, Charlie Toogood, Bob Boyd, Harry Thompson, Tom Dahms, Don Paul, Hall Haynes, Skeet Quinlan, Harland Svare, Dan Reeves, Tex Schramm, Eddie Kotal, Bill Battles, John Sauer, Dick Voris, Ralph Weaver, Ed Beatty (Rams 1954 first round draft pick)...All players or coaches with the Rams. Also....Bob Kelley, Rams play by play man from their inception in 1937 through 1965 49ers include...John Henry Johnson, Joe Perry, Red Hickey, Buck Shaw, Y.A. Tittle, Jim Cason, Bill Stits, Phil Bengston (Vince Lombardi's successor in Green Bay). Other football signatures include...Bert Bell, Doak Walker, Art Donovan, Gino Marchetti, Joe Schmidt, Lou Creekmur, Roger Zatkoff, Lavern Torgeson Several other signatures, I've yet to identify. The hat is also inscribed: To Henry Best Always Rev. Bob Richards (Richards was a U.S. Olympian back in the 40's and 50's and one time presidential candidate) As I said...No certified authenticity, but still cool to me.

Love that pic Jack. I have always wished I could have seen at least one game at the old Stadium. Sadly, my first game at Yankee Stadium wasn't until June 1st, 1980 for Bat Day. Long after the stadium was remodeled.
