For decades, achieving 500 home runs in Major League Baseball has been a ticket to Cooperstown. For the 11 baseball legends portrayed in this poster, enshrinement in the National Baseball Hall of Fame was one more milestone. Presented are the signatures of 11 members of the 500 Home Run club, captured in a 21x38 color poster.
Pictured standing along the first base line of the original Yankee Stadium holding bats at their sides are, from left to right: Ted Williams, Frank Robinson, Harmon Killebrew, Reggie Jackson, Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Mike Schmidt, Ernie Banks, Eddie Matthews and Willie McCovey. All have signed their name in blue marker below their image. They are captured in uniforms of the teams they played for when they achieved their greatest fame. The white border has the caption “Courtesy of Pete Rose Hit King Marketing, Inc./Capital Cards” in black. This item comes with a LOA from Steve Grad of Beckett Authentication (A64022).
