Easily one of the most iconic and recognizable awards in all of professional sports the Rawlings Gold Gloves have for more than a half century succintly defined the finest fielders in Major League Baseball. The special trophy glove made from gold lame tanned leather and sits atop the third of three tiers of a wood base that features an artist's rendering of a Saberhagen portrait that tapers from 6 1/2 inches to 5 inches wide at the top and is 4 inches high. It is flanked by similarly imposing gold-tanned Rawlings baseballs perched on the second tier which also boasts a 15-inch nameplate that has "1989 Rawlings Gold Glove Award Presented to Bret Saberhagen Honoring His Selection As The Finest in the Field!" and flanked by the famed Rawlings script logo on each side. The final overall dimensions of the bottom tier of the wood base are 17-by-6 inches with the tip of the glove reaching 16 inches high. On the back of the third tier of the wooden base directly opposite the artist's rendering of Saberhagen's portrait the former pitcher has signed his name in bold black Sharpie adding a stacked inscription that reads: "Cy Young Year 1989." All elements of the trophy appear to be in essentially in as-issued and problem-free condition. Comes with a Letter of Authenticity from Bret Saberhagen.
Pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
