Item Description
Large 2.25" w/aged and 98% complete St. Louis Button Co. back paper. "Welcome Home" notation on face after playing two World Series games in New York. The 1926 St. Louis Cardinals ball club won the National League pennant with a final record of 89-65 under Hall of Fame manager/second baseman, Rogers Hornsby. In addition to Hornsby, the offense was led by future National Baseball Hall of Fame selectees: Chick Hafey, Jim Bottomley and Billy Southworth. The mound corps was led by a pair of HOF starters, Jesse Hasines and Grover Cleveland Alexander. The Cardinals would go on to top the New York Yankees, 4 games to 3, to take the 1926 World Series. Collet has moderate oxidation. Celluloid has a few small dark dots around the curl but only four of these can be seen as pinpoint dots scattered around the extreme front edge. Surface is a hair concave due to the large size. Great color and high gloss. Fine. See next lot for small variety. Paul Muchinsky Collection Book Example.
