The Legendary 1929 Philadelphia Athletics: A Panoramic Tribute

A Season of Dominance

The 1929 Philadelphia Athletics are often heralded as one of the greatest baseball teams ever assembled. Their remarkable season saw them finish first in the American League, boasting an impressive 18-game lead over the second-place New York Yankees. With a regular season record of 104-46, the Athletics captured the 1929 AL Pennant, etching their names into the annals of baseball history.

An Iconic Panoramic Photograph

This approximately 37.5” x 19” framed panoramic photograph is a stunning tribute to the 1929 Philadelphia Athletics. The top right of the photo proudly reads “PHILADELPHIA ATHLETICS – AMERICAN LEAGUE PENNANT WINNERS – 1929” in white, with each player’s name elegantly inscribed below their image. This framed piece is not just a photograph; it is a canvas of history, adorned with the signatures of 28 members of the 1929 World Champion Philadelphia Athletics.

Signatures of Legends

The photograph is graced with the autographs of several Hall of Famers, including:

• Lefty Grove – 1929 AL ERA Leader & AL Strikeout Leader
• Al Simmons – 1929 AL RBI Leader
• Jimmie Foxx
• Mickey Cochrane
• Connie Mack
• Eddie Collins

Additional signatures include George Earnshaw, Kid Gleason, Walter French, and many others, each contributing to the rich tapestry of this historic team. Notably, George Burns signed twice due to a smudged original signature. Most signatures elegantly traverse each player’s image, with a few exceptions.

Condition and Authenticity
