^Lot 1666 Rogers Hornsby

Hall of Famer. A two-time MVP and two-time Triple Crown winner, was the player-manager of the Cardinals’ first World Championship team in 1926 and was the first National League player to hit 300 home runs. Scarce vintage matte-finish 8 x 10 full- length George Burke photo of Hornsby taking a practice swing in his St. Louis uniform, signed in fountain pen. Some light brushing and bleeding to signature, mild silvering to background of image, and a small pencil date notation of 1936 to bottom border, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from PSA/DNA. Hornsby is quite scarce in 8 x 10 photos, particularly of this quality.
