Description
The 1916 World Series, featuring the Brooklyn Robins (later known as the Dodgers) and the Boston Red Sox, was a significant event in baseball history. This Series is particularly notable because it featured a young pitcher who would become one of baseball's greatest legends: Babe Ruth.
A World Series program from this event, especially if it was held in Brooklyn, would be a remarkable piece of baseball memorabilia. Programs from early World Series games are highly sought after by collectors for several reasons:
1. Historical Significance: The 1916 World Series is a part of early 20th-century baseball history. Collectibles from this era offer a glimpse into the game's past and its evolution.
2. Babe Ruth's Appearance: Ruth, playing for the Red Sox, made a significant impact on the Series, particularly in Game 2, where he pitched a 14-inning complete game, which stands as a World Series record for the longest complete game.
3. Age and Rarity: Items from the early 1900s, including World Series programs, are rare and often in limited supply, especially in good condition. Their age adds to their value.
4. Team History: For fans of the Brooklyn Robins/Dodgers and the Boston Red Sox, items from this Series hold special significance as part of their teams' legacies.
5. Artwork and Design: Early baseball programs often featured unique artwork and typography, reflecting the design aesthetics of the period and offering a distinct charm.
An original program from the 1916 World Series in Brooklyn, it would be considered a valuable collector's item. Its value would depend on its condition, any unique features it might have (such as autographs), and the current market for baseball memorabilia. Collectors and historians alike would find such an item to be of great interest.
