NEW YORK POST, October 8, 1940

• Cincinnati Reds wins championship
• World Series of baseball (game 7)

The front page has a banner headline: "REDS WIN, 2-1, TO TAKE SERIES" with subheads & box scores. (see images) Nice for display. More in the sport's section. 
Complete with all 20 pages, light toning at the margins, small binding holes along the spine, generally very nice.

Background: On October 8, 1940, the Cincinnati Reds captured their second World Series title by defeating the Detroit Tigers 2–1 in Game 7 at Crosley Field. Trailing 1–0 in the bottom of the seventh inning, the Reds rallied when Frank McCormick kicked off the frame with a double, eventually scoring the tying run on a Jimmy Ripple double, before Billy Myers drove in the championship-winning run with a sacrifice fly. Reds ace Paul Derringer delivered a stellar complete-game performance on the mound, allowing only seven hits and one unearned run to outduel Detroit's Bobo Newsom. The victory was bolstered by 40-year-old coach Jimmie Wilson, who stepped in for an injured Ernie Lombardi to catch all seven games and bat .353, capping off a dramatic comeback in a Series where Cincinnati had previously trailed 3–2.
