Lot 554: 1933 New York Giants World Champs Team Signed Baseball
ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||
Great vintage ball signed by 26 members of the New York Giants a week before they pummeled the Washington Senators, 4 games to 1, in the 1933 World Series -- the first Giants' championship after the departure of Muggsy McGraw, who had to step down the year before because of declining health. Muggsy got to see his boys win one for him before he died on Feburary 25, 1934. A-List signers on the ONL (Heydler) ball are Mel Ott and '33 MVP Carl Hubbell, as well as "Lefty" O'Doul, Freddie Fitzsimmons, Jo-Jo Moore, Bill Terry (clubhouse), Fred Fitzsimmons, Hughie Critz, Homer Peel, Travis Jackson (clubhouse), Johnnie Vergez, Kiddo Davis and Jo-Jo Moore. Signatures, in black fountain pen, average 7.5/10. The date "Sept- 24- 33" is also written on the ball, which has a game-used appearance perfect for display gawking.
