Bobby Thomson Baseball Photographs (36)
In 1951, Bobby Thomson's bat hit the "Shot Heard Round the World" off a pitch by Ralph Branca propelling the NY Giants to a dramatic come- from-behind pennant victory over the Dodgers. The all-star outfielder is the subject of this (36) piece wire photo lot. The earliest images are from late in 1951, showing Thomson with a young polio victim. Nice image from spring training in '52 that shows him scoring a run with teammates, including the great Monte Irvin, waiting to congratulate him at the plate. Latest images are 1980 laser wire photos showing Thomson and Branca reminiscing about the fateful homerun during a dinner honoring Branca and other HOF inductees. Photos measure 7x 9 to 8x10" . Condition of the lot ranges from VG (due mostly to editing marks) to MT, with most on the better end.
