Perennially felled by stiff American League competition, the oft-woeful Washington Senators did, in fact, manage to reign supreme ... once. Powered by the likes of Goose Goslin, Bucky Harris and Walter Johnson, the 1924 installment staged back-to-back come-from-behind triumphs to win the first and only World Series title in club history. This red and blue stitched 1924 OAL Harridge presents in (VG-EX) condition with very bold and completely legible stampings, moderate toning and deference to east panel scuffing that slightly affects the (4) signatures housed there. The (26) featured autographs range from ("5") to ("8") with the majority falling into the ("6-7") range. Signatures include: Sweet Spot: Walter Johnson (d.1946), Stanley Harris (d.1977); North Panel: Nick Altrock (d.1965), Roger Peckinpaugh (d.1977), Earl McNeely (d.1971), Ossie Bluege, George Mogridge (d.1962), Paul Zahniser (d.1964); South Panel: Joe Martina (d.1962), Tommy Taylor (d.1956), Pinky Hargrave (d.1942), Muddy Ruel (d.1963), Mule Shirley (d.1955), Bennie Tate (d.1973); West Panel: Joe Judge (d.1963), Tom Zachary (d.1969), Al Schacht, Allen Russell (d.1972), By Speece (d.1974); East Panel: Goose Goslin (d.1971), Lemo Leibold (d.1977), Sam Rice (d.1974), Firpo Marberry (d.1976) and Reverse Sweet Spot: Ossie Bluege (second signature), Curly Ogden (d.1964) & Ralph Miller (d.1939). An absolute "gem" with a ton of rare signatures. Full photo LOAs from JSA & C.A.S.
