In 1963 veteran big leaguer Bill Moose Skowron joined the Los Angeles Dodgers and promptly helped the team win the World Series. After battling as a member of the Bronx Bombers for nine seasons and appearing in seven Fall Classics Skowron made the most of his opportunity with his new team by batting .385 in the World Series to help beat his old team by way of a four-game sweep. This lot features a wood laminated photo measuring 16 wide by 13 high that includes Skowron (far right) and five of his trusted Dodgers teammates singing into a microphone from the 63 campaign: from left Frank Howard Tommy Davis Ron Perranoski Willie Davis and Don Drysdale. Each of the players has personalized the photo with written inscriptions in blue ink to Moose Skowron. From Howard: To Moose! The Best S.O.B. that ever lived! Your buddy Frank. From Tommy Davis: To Moose Keep them hips loose thats the only way to do that twist. Your man Tom Davis (T.D.). From Perranowski: To Bill (Bill Moose) Thumbs up youre the greatest. Ron Perranoski. From Willie Davis: To Moose one of the best damn guys I have ever known. Your pal Willie D. From Drysdale: To Moose A Real Pro & a Wonderful Guy Its been my pleasure to have you as a teammate.

The photo even includes a pair of inscriptions to Moose (written across his chest and legs) from a couple of personal friends: A wonderful guy and a wonderful ballplayer & plays a hell of a paper bag Mack Mets Pearson and Ill teach you to sing if youll show me how to knock them out of the ballpark.
