Description
1962 World Series Game Six Used Baseball. San Francisco Giants southpaw Billy Pierce continued his home field dominance in this penultimate Fall Classic contest, staving off the elimination that would come in heartbreaking fashion the next day, the last gasp of hope smothered in Bobby Richardson's glove. The ONL (Giles) ball exhibits solid use and is boldly notated, "13-0 at Candlestick, Giants 5 Yanks 2," and is autographed by Pierce in 8/10 blue ballpoint ink. "13-0 at Candlestick" is repeated in ballpoint on opposite panel. Letter of provenance from Bruce Schworck. Full LOA from PSA/DNA.The Ernie Schworck Collection
With a camera around his neck and a spirit of adventure in his heart, renowned photographer Ernie Schworck spent three decades in the employment of United Press International (UPI), aiming his lens at the most famous figures of twentieth century sport and politics. The collection that follows focuses primarily on the former, Schworck's Los Angeles residency making him a familiar face at Dodger Stadium and Anaheim Stadium. He's best remembered for his creation of some of the most famous photographs of legendary southpaw Sandy Koufax ever captured, images that he populated with hand-notated game used balls that served as living captions for no-hitters, World Series victories and other historic achievements. Schworck wisely retained many of these baseballs for his personal collection, and they make their hobby debut in the lots that follow. Several are accompanied by the photos for which they were created, and all include a letter of provenance from the Schworck family.
