Second is a superb, oversized vintage re-strike of the exterior of Ebbets Field during the 1941 World Series signed by Tommy Henrich of the New York Yankees, and Mickey Owen of the Dodgers. Brooklyn lead 4-3 in the ninth inning and an error by Mickey Owen with Heinrich batting seemingly destroyed the Dodgers allowing New York to win 7-4, delivering a knock out blow which the Dodgers never recovered only to lose the Series in five games. Nicely matted and framed to 17 x 21" signatures large, both dated with the year of the Series, with Owen's name somewhat light. Estimated Value $600 - 800
