Lot 241: Lou Whitakers Personal 1984 Detroit Tigers Full Size World Series Trophy

ITEM DESCRIPTION

Tough to compare a team to the ’27 Yankees and its “Murderer’s Row,” but the 1984 Detroit Tigers were the first club to lead their division from opening day to the World Series title since that stellar New York team pedestalled their season. This is second baseman Lou Whitaker’s personal October Classic crown -- a rare and glittering find, as it is the first full size tiger trophy on market and directly from a players collection with his LOA. It stands 24 ¼” (32” with original maroon velvet travel base on which it rests). Engraved gold band on black base reads “Replica 1984 World Series Championship Trophy - Made for Lou Whitaker, Member of the 1984 Detroit Tigers,” with “Copyright 1983 Commissioner of Baseball” on back of band. Balfour sticker on bottom. Includes LOA.
