Significance of autograph (rare):
An era where you sent out your best pitcher and never looked back. On this October day, Robin Roberts for the Phillies and Don Newcombe for the Dodgers, in this classic confrontation where the winner takes all between the Wiz Kids and the Bums, pitched magnificently. But as it happens so often in MLB history, a blunder this time by the Dodger’s third base coach sent the game into extra innings. And Newcombe, who was fading, served up a three-run shot to Wiz Kid Dick Sisler, and that was the difference. Philly was the NL Champs!
Note: Having Card #2—Roberts and Newcombe autographs on the same box score game card is very special … as well as Card #! With just Roberts’ autograph.
