After losing two straight World Series to their same stadium brethren, the 1923 New York Yankees (who moved into their brand new Yankee Stadium) finally won a World Series, beating their New York Giants nemesis in six games. This 9 ¼ x 11-inch program for Game 4 at the Polo Grounds saw the Yankees cruise to a six run second inning, en route to their 8-4 victory. The cover, which incorporates the same design elements as the previous two World Series programs), features portrait images of the two opposing managers: John McGraw of the Giants and Miller Huggins of the Yankees. The fact McGraw's portrait is to the left of Huggins' denotes this program as having been issued at the Polo Grounds, as each program issued for the 1923 World Series was identical save for the placement of the portrait images on the cover with the home team's manager was always positioned to the left. The large-format 20-page program features interior portrait images of members of the Yankees and Giants, as well as various team and league officials. It grades Very Good to Excellent overall with a small crease on the top left corner and moderate edge wear to the spine. A significant World Series program, the first ever for the Yankees and the first Yankee title for Babe Ruth, who hit .368 overall with three round trippers. Very Good to Excellent.
