In 1986, Steve Sax had a career year at the plate. He batted .322, recording 210 hits. He also recorded a .390 on base percentage and appeared in his third of five career All Star Games. Sax's offensive output was rewarded with his first and only NL Silver Slugger presented here.
The Silver Slugger award has been handed out since 1980, given to the best offensive players at each position by Hillerich & Bradsby bat company. The imposing trophy measures 11" by 34.5" and features a full-size silver plated bat mounted on a wooden stand bearing the Louisville Slugger logo. An engraved plaque is affixed below giving Sax’s name and position along with the other winners of the award from that season. It shows some wear from age and display. Sax has also signed the trophy in bold black ink on the wooden stand. Incudes COA from PSA/DNA and LOA from Steve Sax.
A portion of the auction proceeds from all items sold in the Steve Sax Collection will benefit the foundation named for Steve’s son, John, who was one of five U.S. Marines killed in a training flight accident in June 2022 in the California desert. The Capt. John J. Sax Foundation “serves to support those who choose to further their education, exploration and passion for flight."
