Measuring 36" in diameter, this metal painted "1" sign was a staple at Fenway Park following the Red Sox legend's dedication ceremony over a decade ago. His lengthy blue sharpie inscription (8.5/10) reads, "Robert Pershing Doerr-Red Rox 1937-1951-TSN MVP 1944-9 Time All Star-.288 2042 Hits 223 HR 1247 RBI-MLB HOF 8-3-86-# Retired 5-21-88-Red Sox HOF 11-1-95". An ageless reminder of the man who gave so much to the city of Boston and the sport of baseball. EX, with a well preserved front surface and only the expected scratches on the reverse from mounting.
