Louis "Hack" Wilson Signed Vintage 1930's Autograph Book Page with Photos (Autograph Reference LOA)

Vintage album page measuring approximately 4.5" x 6" in size hand-signed by Louis "Hack" Wilson (HOF, D 1948). The reverse side is signed by Charlie Grimm (D 1983).

Louis "Hack" Wilson was an American Major League Baseball player who played 12 seasons for the New York Giants, Chicago Cubs, Brooklyn Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies. Despite his diminutive stature, he was one of the most accomplished power hitters in the game during the late 1920s and early 1930s. His 1930 season with the Cubs is widely considered one of the most memorable individual single-season hitting performances in baseball history. Highlights included 56 home runs, the National League record for 68 years; and 191 runs batted in, a mark yet to be surpassed. "For a brief span of a few years," wrote a sportswriter of the day, "this hammered down little strongman actually rivaled the mighty Babe Ruth."







The autographs were originally signed in pencil and have been enhanced in steel tip pen by an unknown hand. The piece includes an official Autograph Reference full LOA for authenticity purposes.
