A Rare Collectible: The Jimmie Foxx Signed Program
An Iconic Gathering of Baseball Legends
In the realm of baseball memorabilia, few items capture the imagination quite like a program signed by some of the sport’s most legendary figures. This particular piece, measuring 5” x 8”, is a testament to the rich history of America’s pastime, featuring the signatures of baseball icons such as Jimmie Foxx, Connie Mack, and Mickey Cochrane.
Signatures of Distinction
The program is graced with the autograph of Jimmie Foxx, a name synonymous with baseball greatness. Despite the humorous misspelling of his name as “Jimmy Fox” at his own dinner, Foxx’s signature is penned in pencil with a remarkable rating of 8-9. This autograph alone elevates the program to a coveted status among collectors.
Adding to the allure, the program also features the signature of Connie Mack, the legendary manager, in black fountain pen, rated an 8. The presence of Mickey Cochrane, another Hall of Famer, in blue ink with a rating of 7, further enhances the program’s historical significance.
