As the third member of the “Willie, Mickey and the Duke” New York City Baseball trio, Duke Snider could have easily been overlooked by his fellow center fielders. And while his one World Series title is overshadowed by Mantle’s seven championships, and his 407 career home runs pale next to Mays’s 660, Snider’s career numbers tell a clear Hall of Fame story.

      Duke has signed this Official Cohen National League Baseball on the sweet spot in blue ink, and included lengthy inscriptions detailing his momentous career. Inscribed with his signature is “HOF 80”, and on the adjoining panels are additional inscriptions reading “Duke of Flatbush”, 358 Doubles, 85 Triples, .295 Career Avg”, “2143 Games, 7161 At Bats, 1259 Runs, 2116 Hits, 1333 RBIs, 7 All Star Games”, “5 Straight 40+ Home Run Seasons, 407 Home Runs”, and “11 W.S. Home Runs, 26 W.S. RBI’s”. Snider clearly produced a Hall of Fame career and worthy of mention among his fellow New York legends. This ball comes with a COA from PSA/DNA (P88982).
