Had he not died at the age of 32 in a 1979 plane crash, Thurman Munson would likely have flown his personal jet to Cooperstown sometime in the early '90s, to make his Hall of Fame induction ceremony speech. As it was, fans had only a decade to witness his gritty and determined play for the New York Yankees, and the brevity of Munson's career hasn't added up for Hall of Fame voters. For our money, the 2X champion, MVP, ROY, 3X Gold Glove winner, and 7X All-Star has the credentials for enshrinement. For your money, you can own this Munson autographed photo. This New York Yankees team-issued photo (EX-MT+) is a 4x6 color edition from the 1970 picture pack set. Munson has signed this rookie season photograph across the bottom, and his blue ballpoint pen endorsement shows ("8.5") strength. The youthful Munson is seen in a pre-mustache days batting pose, that positions as a fairly scarce photo. Full LOA from James Spence/JSA. Opening Bid $250.
