Item Description
First example Hake's has offered, 2.25" without maker and with exceptionally wide collet holding fixed horizontal bar pin. This and previous matching button for the Cubs are likely from their All-Chicago World Series face off in 1906. This Chicago White Sox club finished the 1906 season with an American League best 93-58 record before shocking everyone by defeating the powerhouse Chicago Cubs of the NL in the World Series, four games to two. Lovingly referred to as "the hitless wonders", the 1906 White Sox were led by HOF greats: Ed Walsh (SP) and George Davis (SS). Cello surface has half dozen tiny raised surface bumps that catch reflected light. The button is otherwise exceptionally clean and with high gloss. Exc. Paul Muchinsky Collection Book Example.
