Homestead Grays Replica Cap Autographed by HoF First Baseman Buck Leonard.
Lot 108. Homestead Grays Replica Cap Autographed by HoF First Baseman Buck Leonard. Known as “the Lou Gehrig of the Negro Leagues,” Leonard teamed with Josh Gibson, as Gehrig did with Babe Ruth, to form a powerful home run tandem. He batted .355 lifetime. In 11 games against major league pitchers, he hit .382. Unfortunately, by the time the majors began readmitting black players, Leonard was judged to be too old. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1972. He died in 1997. His signature in white on the black bill of the cap is an outstanding 10. Authenticated by Kevin Keating.
Minimum Bid $50.
