1978-1979 Indianapolis Racers Media Guide

Description

This 23-page 1978–1979 Indianapolis Racers media guide provides a factual record of the team's operations and roster during Wayne Gretzky’s inaugural professional season. Technical content includes the full WHA league schedule and franchise records, while page 6 contains a specific biographical profile and portrait of the 17-year-old center who would go on to become the greatest hockey player of all time. Gretzky only played 8 games for the Racers before his tenure in Edmonton, so any documentation from his time with the franchise is scarce.

Size
6" x 4".

Condition
The guide is in excellent condition with only minor spine wear. Interior pages, including Gretzky's portrait, are superb.
