The Collectible Store is proud to present Stanley Musial was an American professional baseball player and Navy veteran of World War II. He was a Major League Baseball (MLB) outfielder and first baseman on the St. Louis Cardinals for 22 seasons, from 1941 through 1963. Nicknamed “Stan the Man”, Musial is widely considered to be one of the greatest hitters in baseball history. He compiled 3,630 career hits, ranking fourth all-time and first in a career spent with only one team. He was named the National League’s (NL) Most Valuable Player (MVP) three time, and won three World Series championship titles. He shares the MLB record for the most All-Star Games played (24) with Hank Aaron and Willie Mays. Musial was a first-ballot inductee into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1969. The piece is a 7 x 9 vertical cherry finish wooden plaque. Clear acrylic was used on this fine piece to protect the autograph and photo. A 3 x 5 color action photo of Stan Musial batting, hand signed in blue ink, is centered on a black mat. A name card is positioned below the photograph with the inscription in black ink “Stan Musial Hall of Fame - 1969”. The Certificate of Authentication (COA) from Professional Forensics Examiner Christopher L. Morales and hologram are enclosed in an envelope and attached on the back of the plaque # CM 06576. The plaque includes a holder to the back and weighs 1 pound.
