SEE PHOTOs----- Lot of four (4) COMPLETE ORIGINAL NEWSPAPERs, the Mobile Register (AL) dated Oct 5, 6, 7, and 8, 1950. This is a lot of 4 different dated newspapers with coverage of the complete 4-game 1950 baseball World Series between the NY YANKEES and the "Whiz Kids" Philadelphia Phillies. The Yankees won their 19th championship in their 41-year history, taking the Series in a four-game sweep. The 1950 World Series was the 47th World Series between the American and National Leagues for the championship of Major League Baseball. The Philadelphia Phillies as 1950 champions of the National League and the New York Yankees, as 1950 American League champions, competed to win a best-of-seven game series. The Series began on Thursday, October 5, and concluded Sunday, October 8. The Phillies had home field advantage for the Series, meaning no games would be played at the Yankees' home ballpark, Yankee Stadium, until game 3. The Yankees won their 19th championship in their 41-year history, taking the Series in a four-game sweep. The final game in the Series resulted in the New York Yankees winning, 5–2 over Philadelphia. It was the only game in the Series decided by more than one run. The 1950 World Series title would be the second of a record five straight titles for the New York Yankees (1949–1953). The two teams would not again meet in the Series for 59 years. This was also the last all-white World Series as neither club had integrated in 1950. It was also the last World Series where television coverage was pooled between the four major networks of the day: that season, the Mutual Broadcasting System, who had long been the radio home for the World Series, purchased the TV rights despite not (and indeed, never) having a television network. They would eventually sell on the rights to NBC, beginning a long relationship with the sport. The 1950 Philadelphia Phillies won the National League pennant by two games over the Brooklyn Dodgers. Nicknamed the "Whiz Kids" because of the youth of their roster, they went on to lose the World Series to the New York Yankees in four straight games. Very good condition.
