New York Yankees 1950s-60 Photo Collection of 25 with Stengel, Howard and Ford.
Lot 235. New York Yankees 1950s-60 Photo Collection of 25 with Stengel, Howard and Ford. A total of 27 photos, including nine from the 1950s, 16 from the 1960s, one from 1970 and one from 1981. Sources are the Chicago Times, the New York News, International News, AP and, predominantly, UPI. Elston Howard is in 10 of the photos, Stengel in nine and Ford in one. Photos capture Howard making a play in the 1958 World Series, coaching Yogi Berra’s son, playing basketball and playing table tennis with his son. In one photo, he is shown with Ralph Houk, and in another, with Ford and Roy Hamey, the Yankees’ general manager. Stengel is pictured receiving an award, celebrating his 50th season in baseball, making out a lineup card, signing a two-year contract in 1950 and talking with Capt. Felipe Guerra Matos, sports director of Cuba. Most of the Stengel photos show crop marks, photo editing or both; they average g. One Howard photo has a chipped corner, and the photo of Howard with Ford has an L-shaped 1” tear at the top, minor paper loss and multiple creases. Other highlights include Bob Turley and John Gabler, Jim Bouton and Al Downing working out, Johnny Keane coaching Whitey Ford’s son, Joe Torre playing catch with a handicapped child (1966 photo), Reggie Jackson and Marvin Miller at a press conference during the 1981 baseball strike, and actress Lee Remick in a promotional photo for Damn Yankees with Yankees president Michael Burke. The photos are 7” x 9” and larger. Excluding the six already described, they average ex to ex-m; any creases are almost always away from the central image area, which has an ex or better appearance. Almost all have captions or other descriptions.
Winning Bid $75.
