Description

Scarce and early Hall of Fame induction photo

Color satin-finish 10 x 8 1971 Baseball Hall of Fame induction photo, signed in blue ballpoint by Buck Leonard, Ted Lyons, Waite Hoyt (signed in black ink), Warren Giles (signed twice), Harry Hooper, Bill Dickey, Earle Combs, Stan Coveleski, Bowie Kuhn, Bob Feller, Lou Boudreau, Early Wynn, George L. Kelly, and Jesse Haines. Others present but unsigned include Pie Traynor (his last visit!), Casey Stengel, a smiling Satchel Paige-shown here as the first living inducted Negro League player, Lefty Grove, Frank Frisch, Roy Campanella, Joe Cronin, Edd Roush, Joe Medwick, Red Ruffing, Ford Frick and Bill Terry. In fine condition, with some slight adhesion trouble to Hoyt’s signature. The Hall of Fame has forever controlled the production and dissemination of these annual event photos making their availability, signed or unsigned, to the public almost non-existent. LOA Steve Grad/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
