The Deadball Era

when it comes to baseball there was one team that we shall remember from it's past it's the nineteen twenty seven N.Y Yankees amidst this legendary collection you shall find the hotest team that ever played baseball starting with their owner Jacob Ruppert followed by his general manager Ed Burrow not to mention the players starting At first base was Lou Gehrig rounding second was Tony Lazzeri playing shortstop was Mark Koenig and heading for third was Joe Dugan and at home plate was their catcher Pat Collins And in the Yankee outfield were right fielder Babe Ruth center fielder Earl Combs and left fielder was Bob Meusel Now let me introduce you to some of their starting pitchers we have Wait Hoyt or you may like to see in Herb Pennock or even maybe George Pipgras and if thats not good enought then they had Dutch Ruether and Urban Schocker and don't forget about the releif pitchers Myles Thomas and Bob Shawkey along with Joe Giard and Walter Beall while closing their games with Wiley Moore As one Washington Senator named Joe Judge said when they got tromped 21-1 in their game was these fellows not only beat you but they tear your heart out So From the chilling mocking Murder's Row of the dead ball era comes to you a great team of players that is now safe at home In Memory Of The 1927 Yankee's May You All Be Angels In The Outfield Also Entry To Matt Caliri's On Baseball Contest

As a Yankee hater (they always won) growing up, I probably had a $250,000.00 motor on my bike in the form of a Mantle Card. I was a die-hard Phillies fan and used Yankee cards to make a motor sound on my spokes. This wasn't one of my brighter endeavors. Good luck in the contest. Vince
