Presented is a Thurman Munson signed cut in a framed display featuring a color action photo of the late New York Yankees catcher. Munson played 11 seasons in Major League Baseball for the New York Yankees, from 1969 until his death in 1979. A seven-time All-Star, Munson had a career batting average of .292 with 113 home runs and 701 RBIs. He became the Yankees' starting catcher late in the 1969 season, and after his first complete season in 1970, in which he batted .302, he was voted American League Rookie of the Year. Considered the "heart and soul" of the Yankees, Munson was named captain of the Yankees in 1976, the team's first since Lou Gehrig. That same year, he won the AL Most Valuable Player Award, making him the only Yankee to win the Rookie of the Year and MVP Awards. The Yankees won the World Series with Munson in 1977 and 1978. Munson’s signature, in black marker, is on a 2 x 4½-inch blue paper cut and is displayed below a 16 x 20-inch color photo of the catcher, in gear, poised to catch a pop-up at Yankee Stadium. The signed cut and photo are mounted in a tan cardboard matte with gray borders and displayed in a 24 x 29½-inch brown wood frame and glass. This item comes with a full LOA from JSA (X85713).
