One of the best collections in the auction. There are some really rare post game images like his congratulations in the locker room, coming off the field, rush to the mound, with opposing pitcher Newcombe before the game, “the ball” (2), with Berra and home plate umpire Babe Pinelli (3), with Maglie in locker room, Bob Hope TV show, signing baseball for Walter O’Malley, with Stengel (2), pitching the game and many more. Many with front captions. All are vintage and from the game. EX-MT overall and average 7x9”.

This lot is from the legendary San Francisco Examiner Archive (SFXArchive).
This is one largest collections ever of historic vintage photos spanning the entire 20th century. The San Francisco Examiner was the first paper acquired by William Randolph Hearst and itself was the subject of the film classic Citizen Kane. The majority of the photographs are fully identified, and back-stamped with dates. Included throughout this auction is a diverse mix of subjects including sports, historical, political, transportation, Hollywood, and all facets of entertainment.
