About This Item
1937 Original 9" x 7" Type 1 black and white photo. Photo of the 1937 New York Giants team after winning the pennant, featuring future Hall of Famers Carl Hubbell and Mel Ott. Near fine photo, with just some light toning and rippling, and brown lettering to upper margin. Overall, a great vintage team photo. The 1937 New York Giants won the National League pennant, though they went on to lose in the World Series against their crosstown rivals, the New York Yankees, in five games. Carl Hubbell was a Hall of Fame pitcher who spent his entire career with the Giants. He won NL MVP honors twice (1933, 1936) and was selected for nine All-Star games. His most memorable moment in the league came when he struck out five all-time great hitters - Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx, Al Simmons, and Joe Cronin - in a row in the 1934 All-Star Game. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1947. Mel Ott was a Hall of Fame right fielder who spent his entire playing career with the New York Giants (1926 - 1947). He was selected to 12 All-Stars games and was a 6x NL home run leader. Notably, he led the Giants in home run hitting for 18 consecutive seasons (1928 - 1945), which still stands as a record today, and was the third player to join the 500 home run club after Babe Ruth and Jimmie Foxx. Ott was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1951. Other notable players featured in the photo are 4x All-Star Wally Berger, 6x All-Star Jo-Jo Moore, and 3x All-Star Hank Leiber. . Photograph.
