9" x 7" Type 1 black and white photo. Photo of New York Giant infielders (L to R) Sam Leslie, Johnny McCarthy, Burgess Whitehead, Dick Bartell, and Mel Ott standing in front of a dugout.

In 1937, the New York Giants won the National League pennant, but ultimately lost the World Series to the New York Yankees, four games to one. Mel Ott was a Hall of Fame right fielder who spent his entire playing career with the New York Giants (1926 - 1947). He was selected to 12 All-Stars games and was a 6x NL home run leader. Notably, he led the Giants in home run hitting for 18 consecutive seasons (1928 - 1945), which still stands as a record today, and was the third player to join the 500 home run club after Babe Ruth and Jimmie Foxx. This photo also features 2x All-Stars Dick Bartell (1933, 1937) and Burgess Whitehead (1935, 1937). Item #1937NYG001
