Offered is a group of 58 1950s-70s New York Yankees original news service photos (many official New York Yankees photos), with the vast majority featuring on-field action. Yankee greats featured include Manager Ralph Houk (with many shots of his famous tirades in the face of umpires), Bobby Murcer, Ken Holtzman, Roy White, Craig Nettles, Johnny Mize, Joe Page, Jim Bouton, Bucky Dent, Bobby Doerr, Bobby Richardson and Yogi Berra. Several of the wire photos feature Billy Martin and Thurman Munson and the aftermath of his untimely passing. There are 49 photos that would be considered Type I and Type II, and just 9 that have the caption in the photo and would be considered true wire photos. Many of the photos maintain their original paper captions adhered to the reverse. The photos mostly measure 8 x 10 inches, with several trimmed down smaller. There are also three oversized photos from legendary Sports Illustrated photographer Herb Scharfman. The photos presents with expected distress and wear from news room use, edge wear, including editorial markings, grease pencil notations and some with pre-production airbrushing for print readability. Excellent condition overall with a few lesser and many much nicer.
