World Series

A 1949 New York Yankees World Series program played at Yankee Stadium is worth about $175.-$200. in excellent - near/mint condition. A 1949 Brooklyn Dodgers World Series program played at Ebbets Field is worth $200.-$250. A Cy Young Jackie Robinson signed 1949 WS Program regardless of which, would probably sell in the neighborhood of $1,500. or more. There is no relation of Cy Young to the 1949 World Series and would not make a desirable item to display the signature, and could keep the price down. Value is based on average prices of recently closed auctions. Prices may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the signatures. As with all collectibles, condition is the most important factor of all providing that the item is authentic. With programs/scorecards the slightest flaws will bring the price down significantly. An exceptional mint condition scorecard could sell for more.

The 1953 New York Yankees World Series ring features a centered diamond surrounded by the number 5. The 5 marking the first time, and still the only time that a baseball team has won five consecutive world championships. The titles came in Casey Stengel's first five years as a manager.

The rings value will be determined if the ring can be attributed to a ballplayer, a member of the Yankee organization, scout, etc. It would have to be proven with a letter of provenance showing the chain of custody or ownership of the ring. The more important the player the more valuable. I do not know how you can acquire a ring of such status without knowing who it belonged to, and the ring could be a salesman's sample or a reproduction.

Without a letter of Provence showing the origin of the ring you will have a hard time selling it as such. The value of the ring will then be determined by the value as a piece of jewelry, that is a replica of the 1953 world series ring, and not as a ring belonging to any member of the organization.

There was a 1953 World Series ring belonging to Phil Rizzuto being auctioned off in the summer of 2007. I have not been able to find the results of the auction. it could sell anywhere between $50,000, and $150,0000+ and I would go with the higher number because of the significance of the 5 in a row World Series titles, and Phil Rizzuto being a popular Yankees figure.

In comparison a 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers World Series Ring owned by the P.A. announcer "Tex" Rickard sold for $29,694.98. and a Johnny Podres 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers World Series Ring $50,932.37 same ring different owner.

If I find more info I will up date the post. I will leave a link to the latest news on baseball memorabilia below.

The 1968 Detroit Tigers Yearbook with the cover featuring Al Kaline has a book value of $50.00 - $60.00 . in near/mint condition.

Condition is very important in getting a price anywhere near this price. Common flaws with yearbooks would be staining, foxing (yellowing), fading color, stains, creases, rips, loose pages, cracked binding, and writing on the cover.

The Chicago Cubs have won two World Series, they won the 1907 and 1908 World Series against Detroit however in 1907, it was won with Chicago winning four games and in the 1908 World Series, the Chicago Cubs won the series in five games.

The New York Mets have only been in four World Series (1969, 1973, 1986 and 2000) and therefore only have 10 pitchers with a World Series win. That being said, all of the wins were that pitchers only World Series win with the Mets except for Jerry Koosman. Koosman won 2 games (2 and 5) in the 69 World Series and winning a third in 73. The other 9 pitchers with a World Series win on the Mets are listed below:

The St. Louis Cardinals come in Second place with ten titles in seventeen trys. Of couse, New York Yankees' have the most titles with 26 titles in 39 trys. Rounding out the top five are the Oakland Athletics (9), Boston Red Sox (7), and the L.A./Brooklyn Dodgers (6). (3 tied for 6th with 5)

Minnesota Twins 1, Atlanta Braves 0 in 10 innings.

The presentday Baltimore Orioles have won three World Series titles to date (2011).

The Orioles won vs. LA Dodgers in 1966, vs. Cincinnati Reds in 1970 and

vs. Milwaukee Brewers (when the Brewers were still an American League team)

in 1983.

The Orioles lost World Series to NY Mets in 1969 and to Pittsburgh Pirates

in both 1971 and 1979.

But just in case this is a trick question perhaps a little more history is in order.

The original AL franchise in Baltimore (1901,1902) was also named Orioles

before relocating to NYC in 1903 as the Highlanders before being renamed

as the Yankees in 1913. Since winning their first WS title in 1923, the

Yankees have won 27 in total and lost 13.

The 1957 World Series was won by the National League's Milwaukee Braves over the AL's New York Yankees 4 games to 3. The Braves were led by Hank Aaron, Eddie Mathews and pitchers Warren Spahn and Lew Burdette who won three games in the series. However, during the season the Braves acquired 2b Red Schoendiest from the New York Giants in a trade that many feel solidified the team and help carry them to the pennant and the World Championship. In the trade, the Braves sent 2b Danny O'Connell, OF Bobby Thomson and Pitcher Jim Crone to the Giants to get the veteran Schoendiest.

It hasn't happened yet, although Deion Sanders came close. He won NFL championships with the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XXIX and with the Dallas Cowboys in Super Bowl XXX. But in his lone World Series appearance in 1992, Sanders and his Atlanta Braves teammates lost to the Toronto Blue Jays in six games.

The Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers won world championships in 1955, 1959, 1963, 1965, 1981 and 1988.
