The New York Yankees 1953 World Series victory capped an amazing run of five consecutive World Championships for baseball's most storied franchise breaking the record of their 1936-1939 predecessors. At the start of that historic 1953 season the entire Yankees team lined up on the field of an eerily empty Yankee Stadium and posed for this classic team panoramic photo. Featured in the line-up are Hall of Famers Stengel Ford Mickey Mantle (in just his third season) Yogi Berra Phil Rizzuto Johnny Mize and Bill Dickey along with Gene Woodling Hank Bauer Gil McDougald and Billy Martin. Housed in its original black wooden frame the glossy 7" x 32-1/2" panoramic photograph presents beautifully as apparent EX/MT. Close examination under a bright light reveals the faint vertical creases so common on such panoramas (which were often rolled up in storage). Image clarity and contrast are sensational and a copyright mark for Brooklyn's Verna Photographers appears in the lower-left corner.
