Pie Traynor Rare 1928 Testimonial Program.
Lot 53. Pie Traynor Rare 1928 Testimonial Program. Traynor’s .342 average made him one of the National League’s top five batters in 1927 as the Pittsburgh Pirates captured the league pennant. A .320 career batter, the third baseman entered the Hall of Fame in 1948. The program has several heavy creases along with Traynor’s image on the cover. A ribbon binds the program’s 10 leafs. Pirates’ broadcaster Rosey Rowswell was in charge of the program, which included a toast by Honus Wagner and remarks by Barney Dreyfuss, the Pirates’ owner, and John A. Heydler, the N.L. president. The program includes two songs about Traynor and one each about Dreyfuss and Heydler.
Winning Bid $102.
