1927 & 1938 New York Times Sports Pages--Hornsby, DiMaggio, Dizzy, Rickey

Description: Stloubrown’s Bygone Days "Let Bygones Be Back" Lot of three (3) sports pages from The New York Times: Aug. 14, 1927; Aug. 20, 1938 and Sept. 11, 1938. 1927 was the year of perhaps the greatest Yankees team of all time, and there is a photo of the potent '27 New York Giants lineup, including Rogers Hornsby and Bill Terry. The 1938 pages mention Joe DiMaggio, Dizzy Dean going to the mound for the Cubs for what Gabby Hartnett hopes will put the Chicagoans back in the pennant race (Dean was 7-1 that year and the Cubs won the National League pennant before the Yankees swept them in the World Series). Branch Rickey comments on his roster during a woeful '38 Cardinals' season, and Hank Greenberg's bombs put him, in August, ahead of the pace set by Babe Ruth a decade earlier when he set the decades-long standard of 60 home runs in a season (Greenberg finished with 58). The issues in question were printed on archival rag paper for distribution to libraries and other institutions exclusively, so wear is remarkably less than other newspapers of those dates. Dimensions: -Aug. 27, 1927: 22 ¼” x 17 ¼”. -Aug. 20 and Sept. 11, 1938: 22 ½” x 16 ½”. COMBINED SHIPPING: Combined shipping is available on multiple purchases upon request. That means that if an order contains at least one item with a shipping charge, although other items in the order are listed with free shipping, there will be a charge – the lowest possible given the combined items. CONDITION ASSESSMENT: Any condition assigned to listed items is based on my amateur, albeit conservative, opinion, so please examine available images closely and come to your own conclusion. MULTIPLE-COPY LISTINGS: On listings where multiple copies of the same item are listed, labels associated with a color such as “Item Name-Yellow” or “Item Name-Purple” refer only to the color of the background used for identification purposes. Take care to note whether this auction is one in which multiple copies of the same or similar items are being sold individually, and that the price listed is for one of the items rather than all the items which might appear in a group photo. SMOKE-FREE INVENTORY: All items are stored in a smoke-free environment. QUESTIONS? I want the buyer to be satisfied, so feel free to ask any questions you may have. Your satisfaction 100% guaranteed, or simply return your purchase within 30 days for a full refund! Thank you for your patronage. 9
