The day Babe Ruth hit #60-- FINISHED!!

[ronfir]

In 2001 when Upper Deck released SP Legendary Cuts I thought it would be something to try and put together a series of cut autos from the 1927 Yankees that played that game, September 30, 1927.

Today I finished the project as FED EX delivered the last player from an ebay purchase! Since I am limited to 10 pictures in the post I will post the box score in the next bucket but may I present the 1927 Yankees who played that great day in baseball history:

Leading off: Centerfielder Earle Combs:


Batting second, shortstop Mark Koenig


Batting third and playing right field. THE BABE!!!


Batting clean up the Iron Horse, himself. Lou Gehrig


Batting fifth and playing left field: Bob Meusel


Playing second base and hitting sixth: Tony Lazzeri


At third base: Jumpin' Joe Dugan


Catching, with a little help from Donruss for this 1/1 cut auto:
Benny Bengough


Pitching that game: George Pipgras


And finally today, the winning pitcher, Hall of Famer Herb Pennock from 2009 SP Legendary Cuts:


Done, Finished!!!

What a great team.

Good luck with your breaks.

Awesome awesome project, congrats on finishing it! I love the Ruth sig of course, but I really like that 2004 SP Legendary Cuts set. By far the best looking cut signature set IMO. What's the story on the "help from Donruss" cut auto of Benny Bengough?

The story on the Bengough, I had hoped to get an Upper Deck auto just to keep it with one manufacture but I have never seen a cut from UD of Bengough.

One day I am checking ebay for auto and find the 1/1 Bengough which is the very first auto I have ever seen of the guy. Knowing my project, I couldn't hit buy it now fast enough. Being a 1/1 makes it even better in my opinion.

Paid $80. for the card which I think of as a steal.

If UD ever puts out or if they have put out and auto, if someone would let me know.

Thanks again for reading my post.
