Tris Speaker Lined Pape Cut (JSA)

Tris Speaker is arguably one of the most complete players in the modern baseball era. He is the All-Time Doubles King: His 792 career doubles remains the Major League record today. He won 3 World Series Champion: He won titles with the Boston Red Sox (1912, 1915) and led the Cleveland Indians to their first-ever championship as player-manager in 1920. Speaker won the AL MVP in 1912, and was the AL Batting Champion in 1916, ending Ty Cobb's streak of 9 in a row. Speaker sits 5th on the all time hits list with 3,514 and holds the 6th best career batting average at .345. In addition to his offensive dominance, Speaker was also a Defensive Pioneer: Known as the place "where triples go to die," Speaker played an extraordinarily shallow center field. He holds the all-time MLB record for outfield assists (449) and double plays by an outfielder (139). Speaker was elected into the Baseball Hall Of Fame in 1937, part of the 2nd induction class. Tris Speaker has hand signed this lined index card, which is a must-own for any 3,000 hit club and early Hall Of Fame collector. It comes complete with a JSA full letter of authenticity.
