PSA for the LOC

1921 New York Giants vs. New York Yankees World Series Program. ... | Lot #44191 | Heritage AuctionsAs in Library of Congress.

Just received this email from Darren Jones, reference librarian for that august institution and am happy to pass it along:

Dear Baseball Enthusiasts:

With the start of the 2021 World Series later this month, we want to share with you some online resources from the Library of Congress about the Fall Classic; as well as other digital collections about the game of baseball.

Baseball World Series (1903-1922): Topics in Chronicling America

Baseball Resources at the Library of Congress

Just for fun here is a link to the Baseball Hall of Fame’s (surprisingly incomplete) collection of WS programs as well as a 2013 post from SBNation on “The 10 Greatest World Series Program Covers” and this one I found on Pinterest which seems more thorough.
