 Lot 249. 1960 New York at Pittsburgh World Series Program from the 7th Game. The Bombers from the Bronx outscored Pittsburgh, 55-27, and Bobby Richardson won MVP honors. But tenacity, teamwork, and clutch hitting and pitching brought the World Championship to Pittsburgh. Few clutch hits are more memorable than Bill Mazeroski’s Series-winning home run in the bottom of the ninth inning in Game 7. The program is nicely illustrated and neatly scored in blue ballpoint. This example has an ex-m cover and nm-m inside pages.

 Lot 261. Rare, Original 1936 Babe Ruth’s Baseball Advice. Of all the Babe Ruth products that were marketed, certainly this is one of the scarcest and sweetest. How better to enable Ruth to connect with his legions of fans than to release a book of baseball tips from the great home run hitter geared toward children. To top it off, it was published the same year that Ruth and the inaugural class of five were inducted into the fledgling Hall of Fame. The book is soft-cover with striking red and yellow graphics around a photograph of the children and Babe. Overall, 32 pages of advice, beginning with a single-page preface from the Babe, on pitching, batting, fielding and almost every other aspect of baseball. Each page of text is accompanied by a photo page. Remarkably clean copy with a 1” tear to the staple binding. The pages are crisp. Solid ex copy. Reprints of this book made in 1980 are being offered for $150. This is much better. Just for fun, let’s start the bidding at.
