A collection of 41 original news photos depicting seven of the most memorable events in baseball history. The famous feats and the number of photos depicting each are as follows: the one at-bat career of midget Eddie Gaedel in uniform at the plate for the St. Louis Browns in 1951 (2); Bobby Thomson's home run in the third and deciding playoff game with the Dodgers in 1951, still remembered as "The Shot Heard 'Round the World" (16); Ted Williams' ninth-inning, game-winning home run in the 1941 All-Star Game (4); Pete Rose's hit number 4,192, passing Ty Cobb on the all-time hit list (2); Don Larsen's perfect game in Game 5 of the 1956 World Series (2); Bill Mazeroski's shocking "walk-off home run" to win Game 7 and the 1960 World Series for the Pittsburgh Pirates (14); and Roger Maris hitting home run number 61 in 1961 to break Ruth's record (1). The photographs measure 7" x 9" to 8" x 10" and average EX in condition. An unparalleled original photographic offering with significant break value!
