Brooklyn Dodgers Edgren Robert
Fine original pen-and-ink drawing probably for a newspaper illustration commemorating the 1916 pennant win by the Brooklyn Robins. Titled in pencil at bottom - "Brooklyn the World Salutes You!
n.p. 1916. On stiff paper board signed lower right "R. Edgren.". 12-1/4 x 20-1/2 inches. In later glass-fronted frame; minor soiling a few pin holes and creases etc. generally sound. On stiff paper board signed lower right "R. Edgren.". 12-1/4 x 20-1/2 inches. The drawing depicts an allegorical figure of Manhattan in colonial garb tipping his hat and bowing in homage to his neighbor across the Brooklyn Bridge: a rotund figure in a Brooklyn baseball uniform bat in one hand pennant in the other standing in a field with "Brooklyn B.B. Club" on fence.<br/>The Dodgers were called the Robins from 1914-1931 in honor of their Manager Wilbert Robinson who is called Uncle Wilbert by the press.<br/>1916: The Brooklyn Robins win their first NL Pennant in 16 years with a 94-60 record and earn a trip to their first ever World Series. After dropping Game 1 to the Boston Red Sox at home the Robins would score in the first inning of Game 2 and would not manage to not score again in the 14 inning pitching duel. The Robins just could not figure out how to hit a young 21-year old pitcher by the name of Babe Ruth who pitched the entire 14 innings to give the Red Sox a 2-0 series lead. The Robins would bounce back to take Game 3 in Boston but the Red Sox would take the next 2 and the series 4 games to 1.<br/>A charming cartoon by the well-known sports artist Robert Edgren. unknown books
