Nellie Fox Family Scrapbooks (6)
<p>These captivating scrapbooks are straight from the Nellie Fox family. Nellie is a HOF second baseman who played in the majors for 19 seasons, 14 of them with the Chicago White Sox. Fox was the AL MVP in 1959 when the White Sox won the pennant but lost the World Series to the Los Angeles Dodgers. With today's deluge of strikeouts, it's worth noting that Fox is the third most difficult hitter to strike out in MLB history. Fox was a 3-time Gold Glove winner and a 15-time All-Star, and he led the American league in hits four times. He is remembered also for the large wad of chewing tobacco almost always in his cheek. The lot contains six (<span style="font-size: 10pt;">6) scrapbooks and one additional one that is decorated on the cover but has no contents.
