Few players in the history of baseball have matched the accomplishments and consistency of Stan "The Man" Musial. In 22 seasons Musial knocked in 1951 runs good for fourth on the All-time list behind Aaron Ruth and Gehrig. Even fewer so engendered the admiration and affection of fans not only at home but in every ballpark on the circuit. For his very nickname "Stan the Man" was bestowed by Brooklyn fans who feared "that man" upon his arrival to Ebbets Field. As for his 22-year tenure with the Redbirds there's no specific era during which he peaked. Rather he was spectacular throughout his Hall of Fame career. This is an autographed Hillerich & Bradsby "M117" block-letter ("MUSIAL MODEL") weapon brandished by the seven-time batting champion during the 1950-52 period. The 34 1/2" 33 oz. uncracked Sportsman's Park heirloom exhibits heavy use with ball cleat and deeply embedded stitch marks throughout the hitting surface. Musial's black marker signature appears in about 9/10 prominently beneath the barrel stampings.
Includes a LOA from John Taube of PSA/DNA (Grade GU8).
Autograph pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
