Extraordinary display photograph measuring 41" x 8 3/4" captures the participants of the 1924 World Series the New York Giants and Washington Senators posing together with President Calvin Coolidge before the start of the seventh and deciding game of the series at Washington's Griffith Stadium. Coolidge is standing in the grandstand flanked by opposing managers John McGraw and Bucky Harris with Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis and Washington owner Clark Griffith behind him. Standing in line before them are the Senators and Giants team members as well as the umpiring crew and league officials including Walter Johnson Sam Rice Goose Goslin Ban Johnson Bill Klem Hughie Jennings Hack Wilson Bill Terry Frankie Frisch George Kelly Ross Youngs and Travis Jackson. Printed in white along the bottom is the caption "President Coolidge and the Washington A.L. & New York N.L. World Series Base Ball Teams. Washington World's Champions - October 10 1924." One fascinating characteristic of this striking panorama is the that the eyes of the thousands of fans in the stands can all be seen to be fixed in unison in the direction of the photographer. One of the most highly regarded and visually interesting of all panoramic photographs and considered by many to be the best baseball panoramic photo of the decade. Flawless contrast. Remarkable Near Mint condition. Beautifully matted and framed.
