“Goose” Goslin Fountain Pen Autograph.
Lot 178. “Goose” Goslin Fountain Pen Autograph. The signature of the Hall of Fame left fielder is a gem mint 10 on a 1 ½” x 4” cut matted and framed with an outstanding photo to 13 ¼” x 17 ¼”. In the photo, Goslin holds his famous, or infamous, zebra-striped bat, which he used beginning in 1932 to confuse opposing players. Eventually, A.L. president Will Harridge declared the bat illegal. Goslin helped the Washington Senators to win three pennants and a World Series. A .316 lifetime hitter who collected 2,735 hits and drove in 1,609 runs, he was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1968, three years before his death in 1971. Goslin loved playing baseball. He told writer Lawrence Ritter that he would paid to play the game. “Listen,” he said, “the truth is it was more than fun. It was heaven.” Authenticated by Kevin Keating.
Winning Bid $83.
