ITEM DESCRIPTION

 
Reserve: $100.00
Winning Bid: $221.24
Price Realized: $264.38
Auction Date:6/26/2005 9:00 PM EST

You may not notice Hammerin' Hank in this team shot of Los Criollos (Creoles) de Caguas, champs of the 1953-54 Puerto Rican Winter League and Caribbean World Series, but then few fans did back then when the young Aaron played with them before his rookie season with the Braves. Aaron, in the middle of the 2nd row, took a backseat to big-leaguers Mickey Owen (of "dropped 3rd strike" infamy), Jungle Jim Rivera, Charlie Neal, and Felix Mantilla and homegrown heroes Roberto Vargas and Tetelo Vargas. 6 x 9 1/2" photo is glued to a larger sheet with the players' names and season review in Spanish o/w EX-MT.
