For reasons we still don't understand Hank Aaron items don't get the attention they deserve in the hobby. Some wise collector will scoop up these two pieces of the baseball icon.
First, we present a perfectly signed copy of his autobiography, I Had a Hammer, a fascinating social history of a black sports hero in twentieth-century America. Aaron recalls his struggles and triumphs in a sometimes turbulent atmosphere of hatred and controversy, most notably during his pursuit and then ultimate achievement of hitting his 715th home run to break Babe Ruth's cherished record.
Second, we have a special dual-signed 8" X 10" black and white image of Aaron and Japanese home run slugger Sadahuro Oh. Both legends have autographed the image in bold black marker, including Oh's penmanship in both Japanese and English! It could not be better. Wow!
Beckett authentication is provided for both the book and photo. Batter up!
