Presented is what is unquestionably one of the most historically significant baseball photographs in the hobby: the only known original team photo of the 1914 Baltimore Orioles featuring Babe Ruth during his first professional season. Aside from this photo, the only other images we have seen of Ruth as a member of the Baltimore Orioles are on his 1914 Baltimore News rookie card and as part of a newspaper article that appeared in the March 22, 1914 issue of The Baltimore Sun. Therefore, this is the earliest known original photo of Ruth as a professional player. Its rarity and historical importance notwithstanding, the photo also has a unique provenance. This piece first surfaced in the Baltimore area in the 1990s, where it was discovered within a large collection of early 1900s baseball material originating from the collection of a former Baltimore International League player. It remained in private hands until 2019, when it appeared as Lot 428 in Lelands' Spring Classic Auction, where it realized $190,373. It has been consigned to this auction directly by the original buyer.

The photo, which displays exceptional clarity, captures sixteen members of the club as they pose together standing in front of the grandstand. Ruth, wearing a smile on his face, can be seen on the far right posing nonchalantly as he leans against his teammate. The vintage notation "Baltimore. International./1914" is written in blue fountain pen along the base. As noted, Baltimore was a member of the International League in 1914 and Ruth, who was just nineteen years old at the time, was the club's newest star. Orioles manager/owner Jack Dunn signed Ruth right out of St. Mary's Industrial Home for Boys that spring, offering the young lefthander $100 a month for his services. That signing worked out well for Dunn. Ruth was one of the club's top pitchers during the first half of the season, and he was also starting to turn some heads with his bat. His performance allowed Dunn to sell his contract, along with those of teammates Ernie Shore and Ben Egan, to the Red Sox for $8,000 on June 9th. Ruth's short three-month stint with Baltimore is one of the main reasons why there are so few images of him as a member of the Orioles. 

The photo (13.875 x 5.625") displays two tiny chips in the upper and lower right corners, a few light scratches, and a tiny nick on Ruth's left arm that in no way detract from its overall Excellent appearance. It has been affixed to a vintage black mount (14.25 x 6") that has been trimmed to its current dimensions and also displays moderate edge wear. It must be pointed out that this photo is not a candidate for PSA submission because it is mounted (PSA will not evaluate mounted photos). However, given its clarity, composition, silver tint, and paper type, not to mention its provenance, Lelands can state with certainty that this is an original period photo made from the original negative at the time, and, equally important, the only such example we have ever seen. LOA from Lelands.

Mickey Mantle and his fellow New York Yankee Hall of Fame slugging outfielder, Babe Ruth, had much in common, including fantastic batting power and marvelous handwriting. Offered is a one-of-a-kind item: a display of 99 Mickey Mantle signatures, plus a small bit of signed Mantle improvisation. The autograph sheet was a gift from Mantle to our consignor during his time signing for Sports Impressions, a statue company that produced MLB, NBA, and NFL-licensed products in the 1980s-90s. Babe Ruth, a natural left-hander, was converted to writing right-handed when he attended the St. Mary's Industrial School for Boys in Baltimore. He certainly learned well, as his signature exhibits classic penmanship. Mantle had no such formal instruction of which we know, but when he was a youth, he had a job in a mining office in his native Oklahoma, and when he had free time there, he would endlessly practice his signature on yellow legal pads. The practice paid off as Mantle, using his natural right hand, perfected a beautifully written signature. Did Mantle foresee how his 536 home runs, a still a record for a switch-hitter, his 1961 chase with Roger Maris of Ruth's single-season homer record, his seven World Championships with the Yankees, and his three AL MVP Awards would give him immense fame and with it, a never-ending immense demand for his signature? When his fame came, Mickey was well-prepared to craft wondrous signatures, almost works of art. The whole autographed sheet has been perforated into still-attached segments, each measuring 1x3". Using a fine tip black marker, Mantle, in his big and bold, exquisitely crafted signature, signed 99 of the segments. On the 47th segment, Mantle wrote a change-up. Instead of his signature, Mantle wrote, "These pens suck." Then he signed 53 more segments, still as neatly scripted as ever. Mantle was a perfectionist about his signature and despite his protestations about the quality of his pen, his signatures are absolutely gorgeous.

Offered is a 1985 Pete Rose Cincinnati Reds game worn road jersey. This gray pullover-style jersey includes CINCINNATI across the chest, along with Rose's number 14 on the front. ROSE is sewn into back of the jersey with "14" below. There is a Rawlings size 44 tag on the inside left tail of the jersey. Attached to that tag is a tag that reads "SET 1, 1985." 1985 was a historic year for Rose as on September 11, he broke Ty Cobb's all-time hits record with his 4,192nd hit. Rose remains as MLB's all-time hit leader. Road jerseys from Rose's 1985 season are highly desirable as they are more rare than the home jerseys. Comes with a MEARS Letter of Authenticity.

A stunning Louisville Slugger bat used by New York Yankees legend Thurman Munson circa 1973-75. The uncracked item, which is 35" long and weighs 31.2 ounces, has a flame-burned finish and shows incredible use with pine tar on the handle and ball strikes up and down the barrel. Munson's number 15 has been written on the knob in red marker. The bat has been authenticated by PSA and the service has assigned the item a grade of 10/10, making it one of the finest examples ever seen. A Letter of Authenticity will be included in the lot. Munson was one of the league's best players during the 1970s, winning two World Series Championships, the 1976 American League Most Valuable Player Award and making 7 All-Star teams. He was also awarded 3 Gold Glove Awards for his defense. The catcher was tragically killed in a 1979 plane crash while still in his prime. The Yankees immediately retired Munson's number and a plaque was placed in Monument Park in his honor.

This 1963-67 Hank Aaron model bat was used and autographed by Aaron and was possibly used to hit home run #506. This bat was acquired during a doubleheader on August 28, 1968, by the consignor's father at Connie Mack Stadium. Hank Aaron hit his 506th career home run during the second game. Though it is not confirmed that this was the actual bat Aaron used to hit the home run, the lot includes a scored program for the second game of the doubleheader. The program is signed by Aaron and is certified by PSA. The bat, an Adirondack model number 63, is 35" long and weighs 33.6 ounces. The bat shows heavy use and includes a handle crack. Ball marks and ball stitch impressions are visible on the barrel. There is also a moderate amount of pine tar on the handle. Aaron's number 44 is written on the knob of the bat. Aaron autographed the barrel of the bat with a blue Sharpie. The bat has been graded GU 8.5 by PSA, and a full letter is included.

Cleveland Browns road jersey attributed to Hall of Fame running back Jim Brown. Although we technically have to use the word attributed here because the jersey dates to the 1950s and other players wore number "32" on the Browns prior to Jim Brown joining the club in 1957, the jersey comes with strong provenance that makes us very confident that it was indeed worn by Brown in either his 1957 rookie season or 1958. According our our consignor, who has provided a lengthy one-page letter detailing its history, her father obtained this jersey directly from the visiting team's locker room at Yankee Stadium during the late 1950s when he was employed by the New York Giants.

As she relates, her father worked as an assistant trainer with the New York Giants football team in 1957 and 1958. One of the duties of the assistant trainer was to provide support service to the visiting clubs, which included cleaning the visiting locker room after the game. Following a game against the Browns, the offered jersey was left behind on a bench and, being a big fan of Jim Brown, he asked his boss if he could have it. His boss said yes and it remained in his possession until his death, at which time it was passed down to family members. Since her father worked for the Giants only in 1957 and 1958, and he always maintained that he acquired it late in the season, the jersey must have been worn by Brown in either the December 15, 1957 game, the December 14, 1958 game, or the December 21, 1958 playoff game (the only three dates the Browns played the Giants late in the season at Yankee Stadium during the two-year span 1957-1958).

The white dureen jersey, with brown and orange sleeve trim, features the number "32" on both the front and reverse. All numerals are applied in brown tackle twill. Located on the underside of the crotch strap are a "King-O'Shea" label, an adjacent "50" size tag, and a "Blepp-Coombs Sporting Goods" label. A wash tag reading "Dry Clean Only" appears in the collar. The jersey is original as issued and displays moderate-to-heavy wear, including moderate soil and perspiration staining throughout. Jim Brown Cleveland Browns jerseys are rare and this is just the second we have ever offered. The fact that it is an early example (the jersey is without sleeve numbers, which Cleveland first adopted in 1961), and might even possibly date from Brown's 1957 rookie season, makes it especially significant.

Few players, in any sport, have achieved legendary status. Jim Brown is one of them. Considered by many to be the greatest player in NFL history, Brown rewrote the record books and left a bar so high that to this day, many of his rushing marks remain unbroken. In his nine seasons (1957-1965) Brown led the league in rushing and yards per game eight times. The first player to score over 100 touchdowns, Brown still holds the record for most yards per carry (5.2) and is the only player in NFL history to average 100 yards per game. Among his many honors were four MVP Awards, eight All-Pro First Team selections, nine Pro Bowl selections, and the Rookie of the Year Award. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1971.

Roger Maris captured the attention of the baseball world in 1961 when he broke Babe Ruth's long-standing record for home runs in a season with 61, and Maris wore the offered fiberglass helmet in the batter's box a few seasons later, (during the early 1960s) in his New York Yankees career. Maris played 12 seasons in the Major Leagues: Cleveland Indians (1957-58), Kansas City Athletics (1958-59) New York Yankees (1960-66), St. Louis Cardinals (1967-68). The helmet shows great wear and still has the manufacturer, American Baseball Cap's, label affixed inside, displaying the size 7 3/8. Also, inside is a vintage strip of athletic tape with bold black magic-marker print, written by an unknown hand, that reads "MARIS", along with his uniform number 9. The interlocking NY logo on the front appears to have been touched up with white paint, perhaps by the team. On each side of the helmet is a spot of what appears to be glue. The inner headband has become partially loose, and this headband has spots of what may be pine tar remnants. While playing for the Cardinals in the final years of the slugger's career, Maris was affected by injury and illness, and he retired after the '68 campaign. He will always be remembered for his incredible '61 season, under great stress from media attention, a season that propelled the mild-mannered man into the spotlight.

This number 99 New York Yankees gray road jersey was worn in the playoffs by All-Star Aaron Judge. The tag notes that it is a Flex Base jersey, size 52 uniform top. The jersey shows signs of moderate wear and features a 2017 Postseason patch on the right shoulder. Judge had one of the great rookie seasons of all time in 2017, hitting 52 home runs and becoming the first rookie in MLB history to hit at least 45 home runs with 100 runs scored and 100 runs batted in. He made his first All-Star game in 2017 and was named the American League Rookie of the Year. Major League Baseball has authenticated the item as both being authentic as well as game used.

Presented is the rare opportunity to own Danny Amendola's helmet that he wore in all 19 games, including Super Bowl XLIX when he caught the touchdown pass from Tom Brady that surpassed Joe Montana for most TD passes in Super Bowl history! Resolution Photo-matching was able to find conclusive ResMatches to the 16 regular season games and all three playoff games. The New England Patriots receiver played a huge role in the Patriots victory over the Seattle Seahawks. Amendola caught a touchdown pass halfway through the fourth quarter that pulled the Patriots to within 4 points of the Seahawks. The Patriots would eventually secure the 28-24 victory on one of the most famous plays in Super Bowl history, an interception by Malcolm Butler in the game's final seconds.Amendola signed the front of the helmet and included the following inscriptions: "2014 Game Worn/Regular Season, Playoffs, Super Bowl XLIX." He also included his jersey number "80" to the right of his signature. Amendola's number 80 is written on the inside of the helmet near the left ear area. The silver helmet includes the Patriots red, white, and blue logo on each side of the helmet and has a red facemask and white chin strap. There are various stickers on the back of the helmet, including the NFL shield logo, Super Bowl XLIX logo, American flag, number 80, and a warning/safety label. There is a white nameplate screwed to the back of the helmet that reads "PATRIOTS" beneath the number 80. This rare helmet comes with a full LOA from PSA, LOA signed by Danny Amendola and Resolution Photomatching LOA.

1990 Mark Messier photo-matched Edmonton Oilers game worn jersey. Known as one of the greatest leaders in professional sports, "The Captain" wore this jersey at the end of his time with the Edmonton Oilers during the 1990-91 season. A "Maska" tag is attached to the inside neck area. Written below the tag is "90/91 3" in black ink. The back right tail of the jersey includes a CCM patch, and an NHL patch, both sewn to the jersey. The Oilers logo is sewn to the front of the jersey, along with the captain's "C" on the left breast. Messier's number 11 is sewn to the shoulders and back, and "MESSIER" is across the back of the jersey on a white nameplate. This jersey shows heavy use as hit marks, blade marks, and puck marks are present on the front, back, and sleeves of the jersey. This is one of the finest examples of a Mark Messier game worn Oilers jersey, and it comes with a Letter of Authenticity from MeiGray, Grey Flannel, and the Edmonton Oilers. Also included is an 8x10" glossy photo of Messier wearing this exact jersey in an NHL game.

1993 Shaquille O'Neal photo-matched NBA All-Star Game Eastern Conference game worn uniform including shorts and jersey from his rookie season. Both jersey AND shorts are conclusively photo-matched by Resolution Photomatching. Resolution was also able to conclude that O'Neal wore two different jerseys in the game, so this was one of the two. The shorts include a Champion size 46 tag inside the back waist area, and "32" is written on the tag in black Sharpie. The NBA All-Star logo is printed on the right and left side of the shorts, and there is an NBA silhouette logo sewn below the star on the right leg side. The shorts measure 30" wide by 27" high. The jersey (26" wide x 39" high) has two patches sewn to the front left tail area; a Champion size 52 tag, and a tag that reads, "Utah All-Star Weekend, Feb. 19-21, 1993. Designed & Tailored Exclusively for Shaquille O'Neal, 1993." Shaq's number 32 is sewn into the front of the jersey, on top of the All-Star logo. "O'Neal" and "32" are sewn to the back of the jersey. Each piece shows nice wear, especially the shorts as there is heavy wear to the wash tag and waist area. Comes with Resolution LOA.

Offered is a 1997 Jerome Bettis Pittsburgh Steelers game worn jersey that has been photo-matched to 6 games. Bettis rushed for 646 yards and scored 3 touchdowns while wearing this jersey. A patch is sewn to the front left tail of the jersey that includes the Nike and Pro Line Logos. Attached to the patch is a small size 48 tag. To the left of the Nike/Pro Line patch is a "97" patch, indicating the year the jersey was worn. Bettis's number 32 is sewn to the front, back, and shoulders of the jersey. A BETTIS nameplate is sewn into the back of the jersey above the numbers.

The jersey was obtained directly from the Pittsburgh Steelers equipment repository and comes with a Steelers LOA that has been signed by Arthur Rooney, II.

In the baseball season of 1932, Jimmie Foxx made a concerted assault on Babe Ruth’s home run record of 60 in a season. The Philadelphia A’s strong boy came up two short, ending his season with a mere 58 home runs. For that stellar summer of '32, he was awarded the American League's Most Valuable Player Award. Handsome silver plated trophy has engraved on two-thirds of the front "James Emory Foxx - First Baseman - Philadelphia Athletics - Voted Most Valuable Player In American League For 1932 Season By The Sporting News Committee." The reverse features a raised batter in a batting pose. In remarkable condition, this significant major award stands in at 29" tall from its base to the apex of the silver baseball which rests on top of three crossed bats. The base has some minor age-related wear noticed, none of which takes away from the trophy's appearance and extreme desirability. Comes with an 8x10" photograph (modern print) of Foxx holding the trophy when it was awarded to him in 1932.

Andruw Jones Gold Glove Award that was presented to him for his play in the field during the 2001 season. The award comes directly from Jones and includes a signed letter from the player verifying its authenticity. The plaque on the award reads, 2001 RAWLINGS GOLD GLOVE AWARD - Presented to ANDRUW JONES - Honoring His Selection as "THE FINEST IN THE FIELD." The award itself includes a gold-painted Rawlings glove and two gold-painted baseballs. A phenom from the start, Jones made his debut at 19 and became the youngest player to hit a home run during the 1996 World Series. He was soon being compared to other two-way center fielders like Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays. Considered to be one of the greatest defensive outfielders of all-time, Jones won 10 straight Gold Glove awards from 1998 through 2007. Not just a great defender, Jones also boasted excellent power from the right side of the plate hitting 434 home runs over the course of his 17-year career. Gold Gloves do not hit the open market very often and this is a rare opportunity to own one of the awards.

The George Allen Trophy presented to Roman Gabriel in 1969 for being the Most Valuable Los Angeles Ram. The base is 20x16" with a height of 26.5" and weighing in at 64 pounds. The sculpture was created by Daniel Gluck and presented by Adohr Farms. This is reportedly the largest sculpture ever created by Gluck. 1969 was a huge year for Gabriel, who would be named the NFL's Most Valuable Player. A four-time Pro Bowler, Gabriel would play for the Rams from 1962-72 before finishing his career with the Philadelphia Eagles. Please note: the size and or weight of this lot will necessitate an increased shipping cost.

Rare Spalding trophy featuring a pitching figure mounted upon a large baseball, which in turn is mounted upon a wooden base. This is considered by most collectors as the premier baseball trophy of the era. Produced by Dieges & Clust and sold by Spalding Bros. in its annual catalogs, this silver-colored trophy is one of five different baseball trophies offered at the time. Each trophy featured a different position player, but only the pitcher, catcher, and batter trophies featured the design of a figure mounted upon on a baseball (the other two fielder figures are much smaller). The trophy displays only light tarnishing and the base has been repainted, but is free of any cracks or chips. One foot of the figural piece became loose, but has been professionally repaired. This is an outstanding example of this attractive trophy and one that would be among the highlights of any advanced baseball memorabilia collection.  The trophy has been refastened to the base.  Please Note: The size and/or weight of this lot will necessitate an increased shipping charge.

Tremendous history surrounds this ring, which was earned by Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson. First, there is importance in that it was Oscar's, but second, it celebrates Crispus Attucks High School and Indiana basketball at that level, which is widely considered the toughest in the nation. In 1954, Roberston's sophomore season, his squad was defeated at the state quarter-finals by the Milan High team that was immortalized in the movie Hoosiers. The following season, Crispus Attucks went 31-1 to win the State Championship, and they repeated the feat in 1956, becoming the first school ever to finish with a perfect record at 31-0. Robertson earned the prestigious "Mr. Basketball" title that season, propelling him into a collegiate career at the University of Cincinnati and eventual NBA fame. This size 11.5 ring is in NM condition with "O.R" engraved inside the ring, and also stamped inside is the maker "Dyer Indpls." and "10K." On one shank is "19" and the other shank is "56," top of the ring has "I.H.S.A.A. STATE CHAMPS" with a basketball player in the middle. Considering the achievements of both the team and the owner, this arguably ranks among the most important high school basketball rings in the world.

Displayed is a terrific, circa 1920s Thomas Edison Type I photograph of America's premier inventor. Edison was born in 1847 and displayed an interest in science and mechanics from an early age but had limited formal schooling. He read a great deal on his own, and as a young man he became a telegraph operator and many of his inventions traced back to ideas he gleaned while working with the telegraph. Edison was the first inventor to have an industrial research laboratory. Much of his research utilized a team approach and was conducted in Newark, New Jersey, and then at Menlo Park, also in New Jersey. Edison held 1,093 U.S. patents, the most prolific U.S. inventor in history. He was instrumental in the development of the phonograph, motion pictures, and early versions of the electric, incandescent light bulb. In the offered photograph, Edison appears to be holding an incandescent light bulb in his left hand and touching a much larger version of the incandescent light bulb with his right hand. There is an International News Photo stamp on back. The stirring, dignified photo has been encapsulated and PSA Certified as Type I AUTHENTIC.

Displayed is a circa 1918 Ty Cobb Detroit Tigers original Type I photograph. The offered photo shows Cobb bunting, demonstrating classic form with the barrel held higher than the handle. When batting, Cobb used a split grip on the bat, with his hands usually about four inches apart. In that way, Cobb could slide the lower hand up and have a choked-up grip or slide the upper hand down to swing more for power. To bunt, he could easily slide his upper hand up. Born and raised in Georgia, "the Georgia Peach" played 24 Major League seasons, from 1905-28. The center fielder played all of his seasons with the Detroit Tigers except the last two campaigns, which were with the Philadelphia Athletics. Cobb batted .366 lifetime, the highest Major League average in history. He won 12 batting championships and hit over .400 on three occasions. At one time he held both the total hits (4,189) and stolen bases (897) records. The offered black & white photo measures approx. 6.75x8.75". The photo appears to have been trimmed as the right-side width measurement is slightly uneven. Aside from the uneven right-side width, the photo is in excellent condition. Cobb only wore the depicted uniform in 1918 and 1919, making this an iron-clad pre-1920 image. It has been encapsulated and PSA Certified Type I AUTHENTIC.

A photograph of legendary magician Harry Houdini during the 1920s. The 8x5.5" photo has been verified as Type I and has been encapsulated by PSA. The grading service has also noted that the image originally came from Brown Brothers. One of the most famous figures of his day, Houdini was known worldwide in the 1920s. He passed away in 1926 at the height of his fame. Houdini is still famed as a magician to this day and this is a rare opportunity to get your hands on a 100-year-old piece of memorabilia.

Offered is a 1910s Shoeless Joe Jackson rookie-era Cleveland Naps Type I photograph by Louis Van Oeyen. The franchise now known as the Cleveland Guardians was named the Cleveland Indians for most of their existence. But from 1903-14, the franchise was called the Cleveland Naps in honor of the team's player-manager, Hall of Fame second baseman "Nap" Lajoie. Joe Jackson broke into the Major Leagues in 1908, playing on the Philadelphia Athletics, managed by Connie Mack, for five games. Jackson played in another five games for the Athletics in 1909. In 1910, he was with the Naps, and in 20 games he batted .387. His first extensive Major League play came in 1911 for the Naps when he hit .411. Jackson went to the Chicago White Sox part way through the 1915 season, and he finished his Major League career in 1920. He was one of the eight Chicago White Sox players banned for life by Baseball Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis for his association with gamblers who fixed the 1919 World Series. The photo measures 5.9x7.2". The collar on the jersey allows us to date the photo to 1910-12, one of Jackson's first three seasons with the Naps. The photo was taken by famed sports photographer Louis Van Oeyen. Philadelphia Inquirer (newspaper) has been stamped twice on the back. Also, on the back is Van Oeyen's handwriting showing "Joe Jackson Cleveland," with a few letters missing from the edge. The photo has been encapsulated and PSA Certified as Type I AUTHENTIC.

Presented is a circa 1930s image of Babe Ruth signing a baseball in an original Culver Pictures 7x9" black & white photograph. Although Ruth threw left-handed, as a youth he was schooled in penmanship at St. Mary's Industrial School for Boys in Baltimore. There, as was the frequent custom with natural left-handed students of the times, he was taught to write right-handed. Ruth signed autographs right-handed, in the beautiful, flowing script that he learned as a boy. He still threw left-handed, of course, and the portsider was a remarkable pitcher, mostly for the Boston Red Sox, with a 94-46 lifetime record, with a 2.28 ERA. Switching to the outfield, he belted an amazing 714 home runs, for decades the all-time record. The unidentified man to Ruth's right adds a great, vintage touch to the photo with his classic straw hat. The offered photo is in EXCELLENT condition, and it shows great clarity and contrast. The back of the photo has two Culver Pictures stamps. The striking photo has been encapsulated and PSA Certified as Type I AUTHENTIC.

A cream-colored Fender guitar that has been signed by the members of the iconic rock band, The Rolling Stones. The instrument has been signed in black marker by lead singer Mick Jagger, guitarist Keith Richards, guitarist Ronnie Wood, and drummer Charlie Watts. Bassist Bill Wyman and guitarist Mick Taylor signed the guitar in blue marker with Taylor inscribing, "It's Only Rock and Roll." The lot will include a Letter of Authenticity from PSA/DNA verifying the signatures. The Rolling Stones formed in London, England in 1962 and are still performing to this day. One of the most legendary bands in the history of music, the Stones have sold more than 250 million albums. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989 and into the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2004. Guitars signed by the entire band are quite rare and this is a special opportunity to obtain a piece of music history.

A white and wood grain Fender Stratocaster guitar that has been signed by Rock and Roll legend Eric Clapton. The musician has signed the instrument on the body in blue marker, also notating 98 for the year. The lot will include a Letter of Authenticity from PSA/DNA verifying the signature. Clapton, considered to be among the greatest guitarists of all time, began his career in the early 1960s. He has been a member of many popular bands including John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers, The Yardbirds, Cream, Blind Faith, and Derek and the Dominoes. He has also had a massively successful solo career and has sold more than 100 million albums worldwide. Clapton holds special status as the only person inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame three times. In addition to being inducted as a solo artist, he was also enshrined as a member of Cream, and The Yardbirds.
