Exceptional pass issued to James O'Leary of the Boston Globe to attend all Major League games for the 1932 season as part of the Baseball Writers Association of America. The 1932 season was a particularly exciting one ending with a World Series sweep by the Yankees of the Chicago Cubs the dominant Yankees having won 107 games during the year. Philadelphia's Jimmie Foxx drove in 169 runs and made a run at the home run record belting 58. Lefty O'Doul batted .368 for the Dodgers Lou Gehrig hit four home runs in a game and of course Babe Ruth hit his "called shot" home run off Charlie Root. The pass exhibits some wear consistent with the excessive use on the part of a baseball writer; the corners and edges are worn with overall surface wear evident as well. Despite this the presentation is strong an outstanding full pass gaining the bearer access to any game in any park. Sort of a dream.
