- Lot Description
1944 American League Pennant Baseball Signed by St. Louis Browns. An incredible piece of Major League History!
Condition: Commensurate with age.
Size: 3 x 3 x 3 in.
#3661 .
The St. Louis Browns baseball team had a remarkable 1944 season, finishing first in the American League with a record of 89 wins and 65 losses. In the World Series, they lost to the team they shared a stadium with, the Cardinals, four games to two. The Browns were one of the unlikeliest pennant-winners in history, failing to contend in nine of the previous 10 seasons. In fact, Frank Mancuso, the catcher, set a world record that same year for the most errors in a season (17 total). However, 1944 marked the peak of wartime conditions in Major League Baseball, and the shortage of available players degraded the talent level of both major leagues, benefiting the 1944 Browns who were relatively untouched by the military draft. Nine players were at least 34 years old and the all-4F infield included 23-year-old shortstop Vern Stephens, who led the league in RBI (109) and was second in home runs (20). St. Louis started the season with nine straight wins and continued to contend in a four-team race with Detroit, Boston, and New York. It came down to the final week, when the Browns defeated the Yankees five times, winning the pennant by a game over Detroit. It was the only championship the franchise won in St. Louis. Nine years later, after the 1953 season, the Browns were sold and became the Baltimore Orioles.
