Significance of autograph (very valuable)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

Was this series crazy? Joe Garagiola, who would later become a well-known TV personality as well as the founder of B.A.T., had more hits and RBIs than Ted Williams.

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 a howitzer.†Then DiMaggio told me if he hadn’t gotten hurt and I had, “If I had been in centerfield, Slaughter would have been out by 50 feet.
