1933 Hardbound “Who’s Who in Major League Baseball.”
Lot 186. 1933 Hardbound “Who’s Who in Major League Baseball.” Published by Grover C. Buxton of Chicago and compiled by sportswriter Harold (Speed) Johnson, this scarce period reference is what every annual should be. Consisting of 544-pages, it devotes a full page to several hundred baseball players. Each player is represented by a large photo. In addition, the publication provides the player’s full record and a biographical sketch with career highlights. The “Who’s Who” starts with Earl “Sparky” Adams and ends with Tom Zachary. Judge Landis, managers, owners and other personalities also are profiled. Red cover, without a dust jacket, is vg-ex with wear at the corners, some darkening to the red covers and a 1 ¾” tear along the spine in the back. Inside, the front end-page, which doubles as the first title page, is loose. Otherwise, the contents are ex. Scarce and desirable.
Winning Bid $182.
