In 1980, the Philadelphia Phillies won the first World Series title in the long history of their franchise, defeating the Kansas City Royals in a six-game World Series. Led by the transcendent talent of Mike Schmidt and Steve Carlton, the Phillies injected hope into the nascent baseball fandom of Philadelphia before embarking on a then-unprecedented era of excellence for the Phillies. This poster has been signed by 32 members of the 1980 Phillies, including the Hall of Famers Schmidt and Carlton.

The signatures on this 25 x 32 inch framed display have been written in blue marker. This item comes with a LOA from Steve Grad of Beckett Authentication (A86046).
