Marty Marion St Louis Cards All-Star, MVP, WS Champ "Mr. Shortstop" Autograph

Description: FINAL REDUCTION!!! CANNOT GO LOWER FOR SUCH A BEAUTIFUL AUTOGRAPH OF THE MAN THEY CALLED "MR. SHORTSTOP!" Here is a great opportunity to own the truly beautiful, large, red-ink, original signature of a REAL OLD-TIME major league shortstop who played as beautifully as he signed his name. Martin Whiteford ("Marty") Marion (1917 - 2011) was nicknamed "MR. SHORTSTOP" by his manager because he said that Marion embodied the position - anticipating plays nearly perfectly, going to his left and right equally well, and having a truly great arm. Marion was the DEFENSIVE STALWART of the St. Louis Cardinals DYNASTY of the 1940s that won 4 NL PENNANTS and 3 WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONSHIPS over a 5 YEAR PERIOD. During an era that saw such Hall-of-Fame shortstops as Pee Wee Reese, Phil Rizzuto and Lou Boudreau, Marion was talked about as possibly being the GREATEST DEFENSIVE SHORTSTOP THE GAME HAD EVER KNOWN. In his prime he was compared to the legendary Honus Wagner. Marion was an 8-TIME ALL-STAR, and despite batting only .267 with 6 home runs and 63 RBI in 1944, he STILL nonetheless CAPTURED THE LEAGUE MVP that year based almost entirely upon his defense and leadership, becoming the FIRST SHORTSTOP in the HISTORY of the National League TO WIN THE MVP AWARD. That same year he FINISHED SECOND in votes for the ASSOCIATED PRESS MALE ATHLETE OF THE YEAR. After his playing career Marion went on to manage the St. Louis Cardinals, the St. Louis Browns, and the Chicago White Sox before retiring from baseball for good. He was inducted into the ST. LOUIS CARDINALS HALL OF FAME in 2014. This beautiful autograph is a must-have for any collector. It is a rare find at an affordable price and would make a GREAT GIFT FOR YOUR FAVORITE ST. LOUIS CARDINALS FAN! BUT IF YOU WANT IT, BID ON IT NOW, BECAUSE IF IT DOES NOT SELL AT THIS PRICE IT WILL HAVE TO BE PULLED OFF MARKET! Good luck!
