Hall of Famer, Ernie Lombardi signed this photograph. Lombardi was an 8x All-Star, 1x World Series champion, 1x NL MVP and 2x NL Batting Champion. In addition to being inducted into the baseball Hall of Fame, he was also inducted into the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame. Lombardi was an outstanding hitter during his career but another feature that was well known was his lackluster speed. Many claim Lombardi was the slowest player to ever play the game; however, he still managed to hit above .300 a few times, which is a testament to how great of a hitter he was. He was listed as 6'3 and 230 pounds but toward the end of his career, many believe Lombardi reached up to 300 lbs. He was known as a gentle giant to Reds fans and he was a beloved player. Legendary Hall of Fame Yankee, Mickey Mantle signed this baseball. Mantle was undoubtedly one of the most influential sports icons of the 1950s and 1960s. He was a 20x All-Star, 7x World Series champion, 3x AL MVP, 1x Triple Crown winner, 1x Gold Glove winner, 4x AL Home Run leader and 1x AL Batting Champion. He is widely regarded as the greatest switch hitter in baseball history and as one of the greatest offensive threats of all time. He is the only player in baseball history to hit over 150 home runs from both sides of the plate. Measures 12 x 12. Good condition. Comes with a Gotta Have Rock & Roll™ Certificate of Authenticity.
