Memories abound with these (10) programs issued at Fall Classic installments spanning 1934 through 1962. Among the on-field highlights were the removal of a player for his own safety, as well as the last World Series played entirely at the same venue.

1934: issued at Detroit’s Navin Field (possibly for Game 7, which saw Commissioner Landis order St. Louis outfielder Ducky Medwick off the field as unruly Tigers fans pelted him with debris while the hosts were getting blown out). Program presents (VG-EX) but is technically lesser with page (including one of the scoring grids) missing.
1943: issued at Sportsman’s Park for the Game 5 clincher; 32-page program presents (VG) with wear and creases throughout, as well as partially marked scoring grids
1942: issued at Yankee Stadium; 36-page program presents nicely with minor age-induced toning on the covers and (NM) quality on the crisp pages and unmarked scoring grids
1944: issued at Sportsman’s Park for either Game 3, 4 or 5 (St. Louis Browns home games). 40-page guide presents (VG-EX) with unmarked scoring grids. This was the last World Series played entirely at the same venue, as Sportsman's Park was home to both the St. Louis Cardinals and St. Louis Browns.
1947: issued at Ebbets Field; 48-page program presents (VG-EX) with wear, creases and very minor instance of front cover paper loss. Scoring grids are unmarked
