1937 New York Yankees World Championship Team Photo – ACME NEWSPICTURES Type 1 Photo - Measures Approx. 7" x 9" - PSA Type 1 Encapsulation
Presented here is an absolutely breathtaking 1937 New York Yankees world championship Type 1 team photo taken by from the renowned ACME NEWSPICTURES. Beginning in 1936, the New York Yankees would commence on a 4-year championship run, sparked by their incredible rookie center-fielder Joe DiMaggio. With the iconic Babe Ruth long gone, Joltin Joe would now join forces with the immortal Lou Gehrig to create the nucleus of the new "Bronx Bombers" dynasty. The 1937 Yankees would cruise to their 9th pennant, posting a 102-52 record and besting 2nd place Detroit by a staggering 13 games.

They would continue their onslaught by besting their cross-town Giants rivals in 5 games in the Fall Classic, posting their 2nd consecutive championship and 6th overall. The photo includes a whopping 8 Hall of Famers including Gehrig, DiMaggio, Lazerri, Dickey, Gomez, Ruffing, manager McCarthy and coach Combs. Exhibiting superb resolution and contrast, the only notable flaws are several stray vertical marks on the upper and lower borders, none of which impede on the breathtaking eye appeal of this classic team image. The flipside provides a significant newspaper caption that reflects the same team picture as well as the names of each Yankee player, with this captivating marvel serving as a steadfast reminder of how the "Iron Horse" and "Yankee Clipper" led the Bronx Bombers to four consecutive championships in the mid to later 1930's!
