THE NEW YORK TIMES, July 17, 1941.
* Joe MiMaggio
* 56th game hitting streak report
* New York Times issue
Page 24 has a six column banner headline (see the photos): "Cards Beat Dodgers in Night Game; Yankees Rout Indians" and a two line, two column subhead: "DiMaggio Hits 56th Game in Row And Yanks Crush Cleveland, 10-3", plus another subhead: "Joe Slams Two Singles and a Double While Bombers Extend Lead to Six Games With Donald in Box--Keller Drives No. 20." In the summary, there is reference to DiMaggio's hitting streak: "Jolting Joe, tearing into the combined left-handed hurling of Al Milnar and Joe Krakauskas for two singles and a double, extended his sensational hitting streak to fifty-six consecutive games." Includes the box score. A great issue about one of baseball's most famous records. Will Joe D.'s record ever be broken? Rag issue, in very good condition.
