The 1957 Milwaukee Braves faced a tall order in meeting the defending champion New York Yankees, but their seven-game series victory was the franchise's first since the 1914 season. This World Series program is from the era when each team printed its own "home" edition, and this Milwaukee version is ironically signed on the inside pages by 31 members of the Yankees team. Signatures in blue ink average 9/10 and include Stengel, Mantle, Keller, Crosetti, Ford, Grim, Turley, Larsen, Berra, Shantz, Carey, Skowron, McDougald, Slaughter, Bauer, Howard, and more. The players all signed next to or on their photos. It is unscored in, and in EX condition.
