Comment:
Frank Crosetti was the starting shortstop in this historic World Series game known as the ‘Ruth Called Shot’‘. Crosetti had an incredible Yankee career and to any Yankee fan worth his salt he is forever known as Mr. Yankee. Sixty years as a player and coach as a Yankee, incredible.

Autograph(s): Tommy Henrich (D); Micky Owen (D).
Grade Value: VP
Comment:
Mickey Owen and Tommy Henrich (autographs) are certainly the key players in this climatic World Series game which resulted in MLB ‘s most famous missed third strike. At the time it was believed by many Brooklyn fans that had Owen not missed that third strike, Dodgers won the game and eventually the Series as well, that the Dodgers would have solidified their position in New York and never have left. Yes, they won in 1955 but by then the dye was cast. Henrich was called ‘Mr. Clutch’ and for good reason.
As noted, a very valuable card considering the game and the players that signed it:

Grade Value: V3
Comment:
This was quite a World Series with the Cardinals scoring the winning run in the seventh game when supposedly Johnny Pesky held the ball as Enos Slaughter raced from first to home on a single. How crazy was this series? Joe Garagiola who would later become a well-known TV personality as well as founding B.A.T. had more hits and RBI’s than Ted Willaims. Add two HOF signatures (Red Schoendienst and Bobby Doerr) along with an almost HOF Dom DiMaggio one and the game comes alive.
Note: I talked to Slaughter about the play, and he said it was all a bunch of BS, and I quote Slaughter “Pesky wouldn’t have caught me if he had howitzer”. Then DiMaggio told me if he hadn’t gotten hurt and I him “If I had been in centerfield Slaughter would have been out by 50 feet”.

Grade Value: V1
Comment:
A legendary game this was. For 8 2/3 innings Yankee Billy Bevens held the Brooklyn Dodgers hitless, he was about to do what no other MLB player had done, throw the first no-hitter in World Series history.
The rest is history … read the box score game article side above for the story. The autographs are a treasure: Phil Rizzuto not only made it to the Hall but was the voice of the Yankee’s for over 40 years coining one of baseball’s most famous saying “Holy Cow‘ … when something extraordinary happened in a game. Tommy Henrich needs little intro as he was and still is considered one of the Yankee’s greatest clutch hitters. Nickname “The Clutch’!

Comment:
What’s significant about this game was that the Indians were heavy, heavy favourites. They had won more regular season games than any MLB team in history at the time. However, with what is considered the greatest catch in World Series history by the ‘‘Say Hey Kid’ Willie Mays that saved the game for the Giants. And then, a pinch-hit, walk-off home run by Dusty Rhodes and the Indians were done even though this was only game #1. Note: Indian Vic Wertz did everything he could in the game going 4-5, but it was not enough.
Note: We do have a box score game of this game signed only by Willie Mays.

Grade Value: VP
Comment:
One of the greatest games in baseball lore. You really have to know the history behind this rivalry to really appreciate the significance. Yankee and Dodgers, and along with the Giants New York was the epic center of the baseball world. So, when the beloved Brooklyn Dodgers finally beat their hated rival the New York Yankees (who had beaten them five times in the World Series) for their first championship title, the underdog of dogs was no longer in the Bronx pen. It was even secretly said many of the Yankee fans were routing for the BUMS! All seven players (autographs) were well known players in intense rivalry including Dodger Johnny Podres who pitched this masterpiece became MLB first World Series MVP!
Note: Card #2 is signed just by Podres. This is very significant. since Podres is the premier link between the Brookly Dodgers and Los Angeles Dodgers. He the only player that was a main contributor in Brooklyn as this World Series game illustrates and continued in LA as his record indicates including his gem in the 1963 World Series against these same Yankees. Incredible! Afte pitching that gem in 1955, Podres was darted into the service resulting in him missing the entire 1956 season. However, he told me it was a blessing in disguise. When he came back in 1957, his arm felt like he was 21 again … ’57 was his best year ERA wise.

Comment:
The greatest pitched game in World Series history, no ifs, ands or buts about it. Don Larsen’s autograph on this box score game card … a classic collectible! On Card #2 with Yogi Berra who called the game … value maybe it shouldn’t be priced. Note: Larsen probably singed a ton of items but box score game cards only a few and number 1 is looking right at you.
Note: What is incredible is that a year prior Johnny Podres pitched an incredible game against these same Yankees (game seventh) to give the Brookly Dodgers their first world championship. How the tables can turn.

Comment:
By all accounts the most dramatic home run in World Series history – Bill Mazeroski walk-off ninth inning, seventh gamer! So dramatic it got Mazeroski into the HOF. Add Yankee’s Bobby Richardson’s autograph, a most unlikely MVP when the series started and from the losing team … pretty awesome. Card #2 – Add Whitey Ford (autograph) who threw two shutouts, the only two games he pitched in the series to Mazeroski’s and you have a pretty special autographed box score game card as well.

Comment:
One of the most anticipated World Series opening day pitcher match up – Denny McLain verses Bob Gibson. McLain a thirty-one regular game winner with 1.96 ERA and 28 complete games; Gibson this ’68 season with 22 wins, the lowest ERA in post dead ball era 1.12 and also 28 complete games. Gibson would pitch the greatest opening day game in World Series history. You know what is crazy about this series Micky Lolich won three games and was the series MVP. Note: We have added a second signed card with three HOF’s – Al Kaline named Mr. Tiger, Gibson & Lou Brock the MLB’s premier base runner / stealer for 10 years.

Comment:
These Amazin Mets took New York by storm and with the exception of the first man to land on the moon in the summer of ’69, there was no bigger story in America.
What makes these autographs so special is not only did these players play for the Mets in ’69 but their stories including Jerry Koosman whom won this historic game are baseball lore.
There have been many Mets since and surely more great ones to come but the 1962 & 1969 Mats (these ’69 eight autographs and others) … will always be ‘THE METS”.
Note: See the Record Season Series (1962) and Pennant Race (1969) series for additional rare Met autographs. Yes, Tom Terrific Seaver signature is in this set.

Autograph(s): Bruce Kison; Brooks Robinson (D) – HOF.
Grade Value: V
Comment:
Bruce Kison in this game became the first pitcher to win a World Series night game … after 397day games. Now, all the World Series games are played religiously at night. It is great to have the games at night for fans but since MLB modern ear there have been some classic World Series games that had they been at night just wouldn’t have been the same. MLB needs to add at least one day game back to the World Series.
But then again how can MLB afford players like Ohtani at 700 million. Note: Kison winning this game is significant but just as significant is Brooks Robinson’s autograph because in a subtle way he represents the way baseball used to be … day World Series games. After all Brooks did play for old baseball … his career 1955 – 1977.
Note: Roberto Clemente would play his last baseball this series getting a hit in each game. He would die tragically three months later.

Comment:
What makes this game so amazing is that it is considered one of the greatest games in World Series history, yet the Red Sox did win this World Series. However, the game was cancelled for two days prior, there were a number of sub plots including the fact that Red Sox hadn’t won a World Series in over 60 years and were playing the ‘Big Red Machine’. The game was loaded with a bunch of future HOF’s including Carton Fisk who walk-off home run in the middle of the night won the game. This is a loaded / rare, autographs. You definitely need to read the article side of this box score game card but google the game as well. So much history. For example: Jim Rice got hurt just prior to the Series which any other year he would have been Rookie of the Year and maybe MVP, but his teammate Fred Lynn took both those honors that year. And the stories go on.
The autographs on one car, off the charts!

Grade Value: V2
Comment:
Reggie Jackson put on quite a show hitting three home runs on three pitches to put the Dodgers away in this sixth game of the 1977 World Series. This would secure his legendry fame as ‘Mr. October’. Jackson’s five home runs were a series record later tied by Chase Utley and George Springer. However, Springer’s feat comes into question since he was illegally receiving the pitcher’s signs in that World Series. Besides Jackson’s autograph on this game card is Mike Torrez the winning pitcher, Sparky Lyle who would as a reliever no less be the AL CY Young award winner for 1977. Greg Nettles considered one of the great Yankee third baseman while Lou Piniella was a Yankee favorite. Quite a signed card.

Comment:
It was one of those games that will stand time as the Red Sox were ready to end 68 years of frustration only to have the Mets in the bottom of the tenth with two out, nobody on and behind by two runs, come up with three to win Series game #6. The final run coming on perhaps the most discussed error (Mookie Wilson’s grounder) in World Series history by Sox Bill Buckner. Both signed cards are an extraordinary collectible particularly Buckner’s because unless you have the ball no collectible illustrates the error more. And Card #2 has most of the Sox who names will always be associated with one of the greatest black out in World Series history – including Buckner, Clemens, Stanley, Schraldi, Gedman, etc. One of the most valuable collectibles running around celebrating this Series.

Comment:
It is a classic and yet, it was only Game #1 of the World Series. Jose Canseco hits a grand slam in the second inning that looks like it is going to hold up for the Oakland.
Reliever Dennis Eckersley who has been totally un-hittable all year … he would later win the Cy Young and MVP in the same year (1992) … comes in the ninth with a one run lead to face Kirk Gibson whom because of a bum knee cannot run but Lasorda hopes maybe he can punch a single. Gibson does more than that he hits a walk-off home run and the A’s never recover losing the series to the Dodgers four games to one. Having two box score game cards with these specific signatures, priceless.
Note: Gibson’s home run is considered by many one of the greats in World Series history.

An event in World Series history that God willing will never be repeated.
