Solid mid-grade example of this classic 1950s baseball card featuring arguable the game's greatest hitter. Career accomplishments? Try these: 6 batting titles, AL HR leader 4x, RBI leader 4x, 2x Triple Crowns, OB % leader 12x (all-time record holder career OB% .482), slugging % leader 9x, 6x total bases leader, 6x AL leader runs scored, highest lifetime BA in live-ball era (since 1920) at .344 (6th overall), last player to hit .400 (.406 in 1941), and well the list goes on. Amazingly over a 19-year career (2,292 games played) his 162-game average stat line reads .344, with 37 HRs and 130 RBI. Today a player runs similar numbers over a couple of seasons and they're elevated to superstar status. Lest we forget he missed several seasons due to active military service (actually flying combat missions) in WW II and Korea (3 entire seasons in WWII, while playing only 43 games over 2 seasons during the Korean conflict), all in his prime. This classic card of one of baseball's greatest ever is graded a nice 4 VG-EX by PSA.
