Lot 1620: 1940 Cincinnati Reds World Series Pennant
ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||
Remarkable felt relic reminds us of the seven game see-saw ride that was the 1940 World Series. Back and forth the Reds battled Detroit until Cincinnati, unwilling to accept the fate that had befallen them a year earlier, finally delivered the knock out blow in the eighth inning when Billy Myers hit Ripple home for the go ahead run. The red felt specimen displays strong white text and graphics with no noticeable breaks, but some light wrinkling is evident, overall EX-MT. Measures 27".
