Lot 247: 1960s Ralph Houk Yankees Manager Wire Photos (94)
ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||
(94) Wire photo images of Ralph Houk and his ever-present cigar, from
his years as the Yankee skipper. A funny early photo has snuck in
here, (then Yankee players Houk, Bauer, Shea and Porterfield are
hamming it up on a Ft. Lauderdale beach in '51) but the majority are
from the 60's and 70's. Notable images include: four-frame photo of
Yankee leaders prior to the '58 series with the mugs of Houk,
Crosetti, Stengel & Turner; Houk photographed at Yankee HQ's on Fifth
Ave in 1960 with the announcement that he would succeed Stengel as
manager; neat double exposed photo of Houk puzzling over his infield
plan in 1962 after losing Tony Kubek to the Army. Most of the photos
have front captions with the remaining images having original caption
sheets or news clippings affixed to versos. Sized from 3.5 x 5" to 9
x 11", all are at least VG (mostly due to editing marks) with many NM/
MT.
