The 2004 Philadelphia Athletics Historical Society’s
Annual Reunion Breakfast honored the 1954 Philadelphia Athletics
team, the last of Connie Mack’s revered franchise. The event
to be held on Sunday, October 17, 2004 at the Williamson’s
Restaurant in Horsham, Pa is sold out as 450 faithful fans of this
dynasty gather to share time with heroes from their youth. Sixteen
former members of that 1954 team are scheduled to be in attendance.
To commemorate this historic occasion, the Society has reproduced
a limited number of the Philadelphia Athletics 1954 yearbook (see
photo) the last yearbook issued by this fabled franchise. The Athletics
only issued 6 year books for the years 1949-1954. They contain photographs,
statistic, complete rosters and much more. In today’s increasing
market for sports memorabilia originals of these collectibles can
cost hundreds of dollars.
Filled with preseason spring training photos, and
other interesting facts, this 8 ½ by 11 laser color copy
magazine is a must for the avid baseball fan.
As an added bonus, each copy will receive a replica
keepsake of the famous early 1950's artist drawing featuring the
likeness of Connie Mack and a young catcher as it appeared on the
obverse side of the Athletics 1954 home game schedule (see photos
of schedule).
With each purchase of the 1954 A's Commemorative
yearbook you will receive this replica 1954 A's home schedule that
was made from the original schedule in the Chief Benber collectioin.
The Chief was a coach in 1954 but passed
away in May of 1954.
