Tris Speaker, Ty Cobb’s friendly rival as the greatest center fielder of the Deadball Era, could field and throw better than the Georgia Peach, even if he could not quite match him as a hitter. Even so, "The Gray Eagle's" lifetime batting average of .345 is sixth on the all-time list, and no one has surpassed his career mark of 792 doubles. Presented is a truly unique autographed ball as it is technically single-signed by Tris speaker on the sweet spot but also carries a printed or "wallpaper" cover with facsimile signatures from members of the 1954 Cleveland Indians. Full LOA from JSA.
