DESCRIPTION:
This auction is for a most historic, very rare, early, and desirable 1921 WORLD SERIES PROGRAM NEW YORK GIANTS vs. NEW ...YORK YANKEES.
YANKEES and BABE RUTH WERE PLAYING IN THEIR FIRST EVER WORLD SERIES and first ever Series Games!! It featured John McGraw's New York Giants, dedicated practitioners of the dead-ball era's "inside game", and the New York Yankees, who relied on the "power game" exemplified by Babe Ruth, who was coming off of what was arguably his best year ever statistically. Scored for deciding Game 8, 10/13, Giants 1-0, Art Nehf over Waite Hoyt, before only 25, 410.
The Series was a closely contested matchup which ended on a double play featuring a baserunning miscue by Aaron Ward, trying for third on a Frank Baker ground-out.
The Series was the last of the experimental best-five-of-nine series, which the Giants won five games to three. All eight games were played at the Polo Grounds in upper Manhattan, New York, each team alternating as the nominal "home team" since the Yankees had subleased the stadium from the Giants for the 1913 through 1922 seasons, so that it was the home park for both teams during the regular season in those ten years. This marked the first time in World Series history that the series occurred at a single site. It happened again the following year in the same place with the same two teams, and in 1944 at St. Louis' Sportsman's Park between the Cardinals and the Browns. For New Yorkers, this was the first subway Series in World Series history. It was also the first World Series to be broadcast on radio, with Grantland Rice covering the games live through Pittsburgh's KDKA. It was rebroadcast on WBZ in Massachusetts. Announcer Tommy Cowan also recreated the games over Westinghouse-owned WJZ in Newark as he listened to phoned-in reports from the stadium.
Because of an infected arm and a bad knee (which he wrenched in Game 5), Babe Ruth played only part-time in the series and did not start the final game, appearing only in the bottom of the ninth pinch-hitting for first baseman Wally Pipp.
In Game 4, Ruth suited up, but stayed on the bench during batting practice. When the game began, however, to everyone's surprise, he popped out of the dugout and jogged to his outfield position. The crowd roared. He kept touching his bandaged arm throughout the game. Despite the injury, he got two hits including a ninth-inning homer, his first World Series home run. But the Giants won the game and tied the series at 2–2. Ruth hit .313 with 1 HR and 4 RBI in the Series. Irish Meusel was the Giants’ hitting star with .345, 1 HR and 7 RBI. Both Ruth and Giants' OF Casey Stengel are pictured in player close-ups, below.
1921 was a significant milestone year, marking the first of 40 Yankee Pennants. Stengel, as future Yankees' manager would play a key role, winning 10 pennants and 7 Series, including a record 5 consecutive ones, from 1949-53.
John McGraw made his sixth of nine World Series appearances, Miller Huggins managed the first of five.
Program, published by Harry M. Stevens, is 16 pages long, oversized 9 x 11 in.
