  • Senators Win Title, 4–3
    The Library of America • Story of the Week From The Great American Sports Page: A Century of Classic Columns (Library of America, 2019), pages 15–21. Originally published in The New York Herald Tribune (October 11, 1924). GRANTLAND RICE Even if Grantland Rice’s name means nothing to you, it’s entirely pos- sible you have heard someone utter something about the four horse- men of a football apocalypse “outlined against a blue-gray October sky.” They are arguably the most famous and certainly the most quoted words in sportswriting history. Rice (1880–1954) wrote them as he piled on adjectives and imagery to describe Notre Dame’s backfield running amok against poor Army in 1924. The unofficial leader of the press box’s Gee-Whiz contingent, he seemed to see every event he covered as the equivalent of the Trojan War. Some contemporaries mocked him and subsequent generations of sportswriters were even harsher. But Rice, the star of the New York Herald Tribune’s sports page and a nationally syndicated columnist during the Roaring Twenties and the Depression, never stopped striving to paint word pictures for audiences in the age before TV. He was best when he took some of the purple out of his prose the way he did in the following story about a once-dominant pitcher recapturing greatness in the ’24 World Series. Rice remained true to his vision of sports until the end. When he died, he did it the only place he could—at his typewriter. HHH Senators Win Title, 4–3 ESTINY, WAITING for the final curtain, stepped from the wings today D and handed the king his crown.

With our auction ending just before the King Of Prussia/Philadelphia, PA show, we are tentatively planning to have a truck to deliver winning items on Saturday December 4th if we get enough interest. Contact Stefan to arrange this. With all that said, once again our dedicated team has outdone itself in assembling this fantastic array of rare, unusual and even one-of-a-kind items. Dave Stoddard has added even more new features to keep our site simple and user friendly while incorporating new and useful ideas. Our head writer Kevin Heffner and his staff of James Feagin and Mark Raines have worked tirelessly to get these lots written. Former writer turned photographer Matt Flores and our "man of many hats" Stefan Wisinski have captured all the images.
