Wikipedia information on AP writer Jack Hand: Jack Jefferson Hand (September 25, 1912 – May 6, 1995) was an American sports reporter for the Associated Press (AP) from 1943 to 1971. His work included coverage of the Olympic Games, the World Series, championship boxing, and the first Super Bowl. He was given the Nat Fleischer Award by the Boxing Writers Association of America in 1975 for excellence in boxing journalism. After retiring from the AP, Hand was an information and editorial coordinator for the National Football League (NFL) and later was a consultant and contributor to the NFL's weekly GameDay program (now known as Sunday NFL Countdown). Hand was a graduate of Hamilton College in New York. He began his journalism career for The Binghamton Sun in his hometown of Binghamton, New York and broadcast games of the Binghamton Triplets minor league baseball team. He died aged 82 on May 6, 1995, in his home in New Milford, Pennsylvania. This lot includes: 1. Jack's hand scored media scorecard 2. Lengthy teletype printout including the AP article that Jack wrote on the game and was published on 10/2/59 in papers around the country (shown is a sample of a paper carrying the article - not included). The article is quite long and gives a very detailed description of the game (He probably based this on the hand written notes that are #4 in this list). Back then teletype machines were available in the press boxes and the writers would type them up and send them by wire back to their home papers (or in this case to the Associated Press) for insertion into the next day's newspapers. As you typed up your article it would print out (and that is what you are receiving here... over 5 feet long!) 3. Press Box Pickups - Los Angeles Dodgers Notes 4. Jack Hand's handwritten notes for game (9 pages) including games gate receipts 5. Stapled press info packet with several pages of White Sox notes and then several pages of mimeograph notes 6. Newspaper article by Bill Furlong for the game that was with the notes I will be listing additional 1959 and 1960 World Series groups and have numerous football media guides already listed that came from the Jack Hand estate.
