Jimmy Foxx George Burke Signed Photo to Lefty Grove
What’s better than a signed Jimmie Foxx George Burke photo? Answer: One that is signed and given to another Baseball HOFer. And not just any HOFer, but one Robert Moses “Lefty” Grove. Jimmie Foxx’s baseball exploits need no introduction, but Lefty Grove could be the greatest left-handed pitcher of all-time (with no disrespect meant to Warren Spahn or Sandy Koufax). Some statistics: A 300 game winner (300-141); lifetime .680 WP, 8th all-time, but none of the seven pitchers ahead of him had more than 236 wins; a record 9 ERA titles and lifetime ERA of 3.06, second only to Pedro Martinez when normalized to overall league ERA and adjusted for the parks in which Grove pitched. And finally, a member of Major League Baseball’s All Century Team. Both Foxx and Grove were sold to the Boston Red Sox in the mid 1930’s as Connie Mack dismantled his legendary champion Philadelphia Athletics—they still had plenty in their tanks and both put up great numbers as teammates in Boston. The George Burke photo is as stunning as the careers of Foxx and Grove — a full 8 x 10”of Foxx with his piercing blues looking through you, as if you were the opposing pitcher. The sepia photo has been matted and framed to measure 15 x 17 1/4". It is inscribed in fountain pen, “To My Friend 'Lefty', One of the Greatest Pitchers and a Swell Guy. - My best always, 'Jimmie' Foxx". The photo is EX-MT, and the inscription gets a grade of an "8" from James Spence. Comes with Spence LOA.
