Photograph article date stamped July 6, 1962 partially reads, "The massive television set, which obscures most of one whole wall in Gene Autry's hacienda up in shady Laurel Canyon, showed the Dodgers and Giants brawling and kicking on the wind-swept lawn at Candlestick Park... Two years ago all Autry had was a franchise from the league and a collection of baseball players, most of whom had been marked down for clearance before the expansion draft came along. Suddenly, miraculously, the Angels are in contention, and the development has brought about a change in his public image." Photograph caption reads, "Gene Autry, owner of league-leading Angels, watches Dodgers on television - Is Laurel Canyon resident scouting his team's World Series competition?"
