(LOT 996)
Roy Campanella Signed Book PSA/DNA LOA

ROY CAMPANELLA-a hard cover book from the Most Valuable Player Series, written by Dick Young who was a sportswriter best known for his direct and abrasive style, and his 45-year association with the New York Daily News. Young, former president of the Baseball Writers Association was elected to the writers' wing of the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1978. Signed, "To Mrs. Bowen, Best Wishes, Roy Campanella", this bold PRE-ACCIDENT playing day signature catapults the value of this book.

Quoted from the inside flap, "The story of Roy Campanella, the durable Dodger catcher and the National League's Most Valuable Player for 1951. Here is the inside story of a boy who was playing top-flight semi-pro ball at the age of 15, who once caught three games in one day. The Negro backstop has been an All-Star choice ever since he broke into the National League". This is one rare copy in very nice condition that you DON'T want to miss. PSA/DNA LOA included.
