This is the last newspaper from July 1969. I still have a few other random papers that I will share at some point.
Unintentionally hilarious ad from Reader's Digest. So dated.
Several years before he became NYC Mayor, Ed Koch hosted works of art in his Congressional office.
Willie Mays sighting! He helps the Mets by leading the Giants to victory over the Cubs. Meanwhile, Dick Allen returns from suspension to a multitude of boos.
Most of the league was playing night games. Apparently the practice at the time was to just post the line score as of whenever the paper went to press. I'm not sure how helpful that was to readers.
Nice writeup on Joe DiMaggio, who was understandably quite proud of that "Greatest Living Player" designation. I imagine that Mays would be considered that person today.
Joe D and the say Hey Kid in one post.
ReplyDeleteWas gonna comment on those two as well!
