Leo Durocher 1951 Original New York “Daily News” Photo.
Lot 288. Leo Durocher 1951 Original New York “Daily News” Photo. At first glance, it looks as if officials might be kicking Durocher out of a ball park for bad behavior on the field. Instead, described by the newspaper’s caption as “exhausted” and “bedraggled,” he is being helped to the New York Giants’ clubhouse by a Polo Grounds attendant and pitcher Jim Hearn. Trailing Brooklyn by 13 ½ games on Aug. 12, the Giants rallied to tie the Bums at the close of a regular season. This photo shows Durocher on Oct. 3, 1951, after the Giants won Game 3 of a three-game playoff series with Brooklyn – and the pennant – on Bobby Thomson’s “Shot Heard ‘Round the World.” The 10” x 13” b&w photo is matted and framed to 15.5” x 19.5”. The photo is mounted on a scrapbook page, and a clipping from the “Daily News” is on the back of the page. Ex+.
Minimum Bid $50.
