Representing one-half of the Hall of Fame's Jewish contingency, Hammerin' Hank was the iconic representation of Jews in America. And he certainly didn't let anyone down. In 1941 he became the first AL player to be drafted into the Army. He surely would be a member of baseball's exclusive 500HR club, had he played for those four years that he was serving our country. Nevertheless, he was one of the premier sluggers of his generation, leading the AL in home runs three times, in RBI's four times. Dark, bold, black ink signature on the sweet spot of this non-official ball rates an 8-9/10. Ball itself is Mint.
