Autographed 1989 TV Sports Mailbag #24 Ralph Kiner MLB Hall Of Fame Induction 8X10 Stat Sheet (Limited Edition Of 1000). A limited edition commemorative piece honoring one of the most feared power hitters of baseball's postwar era and limited to just 1,000 examples. The display celebrates Kiner's induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame with classic imagery and a presentation of his impressive career statistics, while Kiner has personally signed the piece, creating an especially appealing Hall of Fame collectible from the legendary Pittsburgh Pirates slugger. Although his Major League career lasted only 10 seasons from 1946 through 1955, Kiner established himself as one of the most prolific home run hitters of his generation, finishing with 369 home runs, 1,015 RBI and a .279 lifetime batting average while earning six consecutive All Star selections. Most remarkably, Kiner led the National League in home runs for seven consecutive seasons from 1946 through 1952, an extraordinary display of sustained power that included seasons of 51 home runs in 1947 and a career high 54 in 1949. His tremendous popularity in Pittsburgh became so great that the short left field porch at Forbes Field was famously dubbed "Kiner's Korner." Kiner later played for the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians before a back injury brought his playing career to an early conclusion at just 32 years old. His impact on baseball continued for decades after retirement, as he became a beloved broadcaster for the New York Mets beginning with their inaugural 1962 season, with his memorable postgame program also carrying the "Kiner's Korner" name. Kiner was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1975 and remained one of baseball's most recognizable personalities until his passing in 2014 at the age of 91. Combining a Ralph Kiner autograph, limited edition production of only 1,000, Hall of Fame commemorative presentation and the legacy of a seven time home run champion and one of the premier sluggers of his era, this impressive piece represents a tremendous addition to any Ralph Kiner, Pittsburgh Pirates, Hall of Fame or advanced baseball autograph collection.
