Roy Campanella and Johnny Podres are all smiles following a win in this 1956 original 7 3/4" x 7" photo. The following appear on reverse: names written, production notes, Associated Press stamp, "Sep 31 '55" date stamp and Boston Herald Archives hologram.
The original Boston Herald was founded in 1846 by a group of Boston printers jointly under the name of John A. French & Company. The paper was published as a single two-sided sheet, selling for one cent. This is an original photo, in many cases a Type 1 printed at the time of the event. File copies or type 2 photos are also found, and can be distinguished by the markings on the reverse.
