 Lot 187. 1946 Boston at St. Louis Program Marking Ted Williams’ First World Series. The Splendid Splinter made it to the World Series only once, in 1946 when the St. Louis Cardinals edged the Red Sox in seven games. Both Williams and Stan Musial played in the series, but it was the hitting of Harry Walker and the pitching of Harry Brecheen that enabled the Cardinals to prevail. The 32-page program is neatly scored for Game 1, which included a hit in three official at bats for Williams. A 10th-inning home run by Rudy York gave Boston a victory. Nice ex+ program.

 Lot 188. 1947 Dodgers at Yankees World Series Program Featuring Jackie Robinson. The unscored vg+ to ex program is probably for Game 2, which saw Robinson batting second in the lineup. He was, of course, the first African-American to play in the World Series. He was also a star of Game 2, going two-for-four and driving in a run. The 56-page program pictures Yankee icons Ruth and Gehrig, as well as notables such as DiMaggio, Rizzuto, Berra, Reese, Robinson and Hodges. As a matter of trivia, this series also featured the second African-American to compete for the World Championship – Dan Bankhead, a pitcher used as a pinch runner in Game 6. He scored to help take the series to Game 7 – won by the Yankees. Bankhead is pictured.

 Lot 189. 1962 New York at San Francisco World Series Program. This series featured the deluge and the final Fall Classic confrontation between Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle. After the Yankees took a 3 games to 2 lead in New York, rain delayed Game 6 for several days. When play did resume, many programs were damaged by the continuing rain. This 54-page unscored program is ex and especially nice for this series. The Yankees captured the World Championship in seven games. Bobby Richardson ensured the Yankees’ victory by spearing Willie McCovey’s line drive with the Giants’ tying and winning runs in scoring position. Neither Mays nor Mantle was a significant factor. Ralph Terry won Games 5 and 7 for the Yankees.
