The 1939 Yankee Stadium press pass badge is for Games 1, 2, 6 and 7--though only games 1 and 2 are punched since the Yankees swept the Reds in four games. This press pass belonged to "Jerry Bronfield" of the NEA news service--his1939 World Series press pin is the next lot in this auction. With its original string. 4 1/4 x 2 3/4 inches. Intact but worn at edges with creases. Excellent condition.
