Autographed 1961 World Series Photograph
(1937-2007) Born in Cassville, Missouri. Younger brother of MLB players Ken Boyer, 3rd basemen, and Cloyd Boyer, pitcher, both members of the St. Louis Cardinals at one time during their careers. Clete played Major League Baseball from, 1955-1971, with the Kansas City Athletics, (1955-57), New York Yankees, (1959-66), and Atlanta Braves, (1967-71). He also spent four seasons with the Taiyō Whales of the Nippon Professional Baseball League. This slick fielding third baseman was one of the best fielders of his generation. He won a Gold Glove in 1969, and if it were not for the "human vacuum cleaner," Baltimore Orioles, HOF 3rd Baseman, Brooks Robinson, he probably would have won more gold gloves. He was a two time world champion with the New York Yankees, in 1961, vs the Cincinnati Reds, and in 1962, vs the San Francisco Giants. 8 x 10, black and white photograph of a diving Clete Boyer at Yankee Stadium during the 1961 World Series. Beautifully signed in blue sharpie pen, #6 (his Yankees uniform number), Clete Boyer, W.S. Champs, 1961. There is a James A. Spence numbered hologram at the lower right, and it also comes with matching numbered JAS COA. Choice condition. Very desirable Yankees signed photo.
