Box reads: The first New York Times crossword puzzle appeared in 1942, under the able supervision of Margaret Farrar. That same year, in the World Series, the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the New York Yankees in five games. In 1993, Will Shortz, founder and director of the annual American Crosswrod Puzzle Tournament, took command of the crosswords. Will introduced more wordplay, a contemporary attitude, and an author byline for each daily puzzle. Major League Baseball changed forever during 1993
as well. A vote was cast to divide both the American and National Leagues into three divisions and add another round of playoffs featuring two additional wild-card teams. Today the legendary Will Shortz has edited this New York Times Crooswrod Puzzle -- filled with baseball clues -- exclusively for Bergino. Baseball is beautiful. Bergino. Beautiful Baseballs. Batter Up!
Great collectible for the sports or crossword fanatic!!
