Description
A beauty from The Beast!
Circa 1940 Jimmie Foxx Single Signed Baseball, PSA/DNA NM 7. "He has muscles in his hair," Yankees Hall of Fame pitcher Lefty Gomez once said of the prolific slugger who made the 500 Home Run Club a duo during the final week of the 1940 season, joining the Babe in long ball immortality. One of the most feared right-handed hitters in baseball history, Foxx was a key force in breaking the 1920's Yankees' stranglehold on the American League, supplying Philadelphia with three pennants and two World Championships during Connie Mack's second great Athletics dynasty.Only Mel Ott presents a greater challenge to collectors aiming for a complete run of 500 Home Run Club single signed baseballs, though this is clearly not a specimen intended for those simply angling to check a box off a list. Foxx provides a sweet spot signature here that ranks with the boldest autographs ever applied to horsehide, an absolutely thunderous application suitable for the most discerning hobbyist. The medium is a "Professional League" sphere that is lightly and evenly toned, with a few light spots well clear of the signature and mentioned only in the interest of full disclosure. The experts at PSA/DNA assess the signature at an 8/10 level, and the ball at 5/10, adding a half-point for "eye appeal" to conclude the grading evaluation as listed. Full Grading LOA from PSA/DNA, NM 7. Full LOA from James Spence Authentication.
