Photograph. Original 9" x 7" Type 1 black and white photo. Photo of the 1933 New York Giants team after capturing the NL pennant, featuring future Hall of Famers Carl Hubbell, Mel Ott, Travis Jackson, and Bill Terry. Fine photo. Overall, a beautiful vintage team photo. After winning the NL pennant, the 1933 New York Giants went…on to defeat the Washington Senators in the World Series in five games. The team's success was due in no small part to exceptional pitching throughout the season by Carl Hubbell and Hal Schumacher. Carl Hubbell was a Hall of Fame pitcher who spent his entire career with the Giants. He won NL MVP honors twice (1933, 1936) and was selected for nine All-Star games. His most memorable moment in the league came when he struck out five all-time great hitters - Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx, Al Simmons, and Joe Cronin - in a row in the 1934 All-Star Game. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1947. Mel Ott was a Hall of Fame right fielder who spent his entire playing career with the New York Giants (1926 - 1947). He was selected to 12 All-Stars games and was a 6x NL home run leader. Notably, he led the Giants in home run hitting for 18 consecutive seasons (1928 - 1945), which still stands as a record today, and was the third player to join the 500 home run club after Babe Ruth and Jimmie Foxx. Ott was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1951. Bill Terry was a 3x All-Star whose greatest feat was batting .401 in 1930 (to date, he is the last player to hit over .400 in the National League). In 1933, Terry was a player-manager, succeeding Hall of Famer John McGraw in the role of team manager.
