Description

Beckett Authenticated 2017 Historic Autographs Originals series autograph and 1935 Diamond Stars baseball card (#70) of former MLB player Hal Trosky, numbered 12 of only 12 made. Trosky Sr. played in Major League Baseball as a first baseman for the Cleveland Indians (1933–1941) and the Chicago White Sox (1944, 1946). Trosky, who had a career batting average of .302, led the American League in runs batted in in 1936 as a member of the Cleveland Indians. Despite being hailed as the next Babe Ruth, he is widely considered one of the best players to never make an All-Star team. The reason for this omission was the ill-fortune of being an American League first baseman at the same time as Hall of Fame first basemen Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx and Hank Greenberg. He was inducted into the Cleveland Indians Hall of Fame in 1951. The scan shows the actual item. Please email if you have any questions or would like additional scans of this item.
