Tris Speaker a member of Major League Baseball’s All-Century Team was a superb center fielder and prolific hitter for all four teams on which he played: the Boston Americans/Red Sox the Cleveland Indians Washington Senators and the Philadelphia Athletics. While in Boston he led the Red Sox to the World Series championship in both 1912 and ’15 and once traded to the Indians he led the Tribe to a World Series title in 1920. During his time in Cleveland Speaker served as both a player and manager. Speaker retired after the 1928 season with a career batting average of .345 and 3515 hits to his credit. This lot features an official American League (Harridge) high-grade single-signed baseball sporting Speaker’s signature in black ink across the sweet spot. The Reach baseball is slightly toned with some of the manufactured print fading but Speaker’s signature remains bold and legible. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1937 and passed away at the age of 70 in 1958.
