Hack Wilson Signed Cut PSA/DNA 9 MINT
A rare find, we offer here a cut with the entire name and nickname of Lewis "Hack" Wilson, graded by PSA/DNA as a MINT 9. Affixed to a 3x5 index card, this is one you don't want to miss. Wilson played 12 seasons for the New York Giants, Chicago Cubs, Brooklyn Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies. Despite his diminutive stature, he was one of the most accomplished power hitters in the game during the late 1920s and early 1930s. His 1930 season with the Cubs is widely considered one of the most memorable individual single-season hitting performances in baseball history. Highlights included 56 home runs, the National League record for 68 years; and 191 runs batted in, a mark yet to be surpassed. "For a brief span of a few years", wrote a sportswriter of the day, "this hammered down little strongman actually rivaled the mighty Ruth." PSA/DNA Encapsulated.
