MEL MELVIN OTT SIGNED CUT SIGNATURE RARE JSA JSA Certification #X99375 Common baseball practice has it that a prospect is shipped to one of the parent club's minor league affiliates so he can hone his diamond skills in preparation for the "show." In 17-year-old Mel Ott's case, however, New York Giants legendary skipper John McGraw had an alternate plan—a notion that completely defied the mores of baseball's fine-tuning process. McGraw simply did not want another mentor—at any level—to tamper with his prodigy's unusual batting style and thus, kept him at the Major League level. As a result, Ott's trademark high leg kick and subsequent swing never varied during a 22-year Hall of Fame career that produced 511 home runs and a .304 lifetime batting mark. Circa 1940 Rogers Hornsby Signed Cut Signature Display.Marvelous signature exemplar is penned in 9/10 black fountain pen on an unlined page. Autograph is matted beneath a Photo to dimensions of 7x10" for easy framing. Great chance to pick up one of the toughest and most desirable Hall of Famers in The History of the Game. Comes wih Full LOA from JSA. 04.08.031
