Description: Beckett certified 2020 Historic Autographs Half Century series autograph with a 1933 Goudey baseball trading card of former MLB and Hall of Fame member Mickey Cochrane. Cochrane, nicknamed "Black Mike", was a professional baseball player, manager and coach. He played in Major League Baseball as a catcher for the Philadelphia Athletics and Detroit Tigers. Cochrane was considered one of the best catchers in baseball history and is a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame. Cochrane was a multi-sport athlete at Boston University. After college, he chose baseball over basketball and football. He made his major league debut in 1925, having spent only one season in the minor leagues. He was chosen as the American League Most Valuable Player in 1928 and he appeared in the World Series from 1929 to 1931. Philadelphia won the first two of those World Series. Cochrane's career batting average (.320) is still an MLB record for a catcher. Cochrane's career ended abruptly after a near-fatal head injury from a pitched ball in 1937. Cochrane died of cancer in 1962. In 1999, The Sporting News ranked him 65th on its list of the 100 Greatest Baseball Players.The scan shows the actual item - any scratches are on the holder and not the card.
