“THE LAST ORIGINAL BASEBALL SEASON”: REAL GRASS, SIGNED BY TED WILLIAMS, DOM DIMAGGIO, AND CO-AUTHOR BILL GILBERT

DIMAGGIO, Dom and GILBERT, Bill. Real Grass, Real Heroes: Baseball's Historic 1941 Season. (New York): Kensington, (1990). Octavo, original half green cloth, original dust jacket. $600.

First edition of this first-hand account of this “unique season” (Ted Williams), with 16 pages of photographs, signed on the half title by Ted Williams, Dom DiMaggio, and Bill Gilbert.

The Boston Red Sox' star centerfielder claims that "1941 was the last original baseball season"— jumping to another team was inconceivable, moving a franchise to another city was unthinkable, and then came artificial grass.
