ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||
In 1962 Maury Wills stole 104 bases in a single season and broke a
record many thought was unbreakable. This collection of (28) wire
photos has many images from that famous season and others, including
his time as manager of the Seattle Mariners and as a baseball analyst
for NBC in the 1980's. Notable images: Wills is photographed in 1962
holding as baseball autographed by Ty Cobb, a gift from Fred Haney;
also in 1962 Wills is captured picking a banjo at the baseball
writers dinner; in 1963 he was photographed face to face with another
fleet-footed creature-a roadrunner- while at spring training in New
Mexico. Condition ranges from VG to MT. All are front captioned wire
photos with a handful from the 80's on laser paper. Many have
original news clippings affixed to versos. Sizes range from 5 x 8" to
8 x 11".
