Additional Details

These posters were issued tri-weekly on a variety of topics, promising "Latest World Events in Pictures." Most of these were issued during the 1929 season. Two of them show Babe Ruth in mid-swing, one has Brooklyn's Dazzy Vance demonstrating his knuckleball grip, and another shows the Cubs and Athletics on the eve of the World Series. The one earlier bulletin shows Tony Lazzeri of the Yankees sliding in the 1927 World Series.
