Baseball posters are classic collectibles. They are in a class of their
own when it comes to sports posters. The beauty in baseball posters is
that they look aged even if they are brand new.
The Babe Bows Out |
Babe Ruth
Baseball has produced many great legends, one in particular was Babe Ruth.
Babe Ruth was one of only two people to ever hit three home runs in a
World Series game and is the only one to do it twice, once in 1926 and
then again in 1928. He not only dominated the game, but also improved
it as well. He invented of the modern baseball bat. He was the first player
to order a bat with a knob on the end of the handle. Louisville Slugger
was the company that produced the bat.
Anaheim Angels and the World Series
The
Anaheim Angels having had the worst record in team history finished up
a magical recovery with the best mark after the regular season in 2002
winning the World Series Championship, the first in the history of the
franchise.
There are many posters that captures a player's position in action.
- The pitcher, winding up, ready to throw a fast ball at 100 mph. He
may be on his way to a no hitter.
- The batter, sees the ball and gets ready to strike it. The speed and
curve of that ball may not be of any match for his powerful swing.
- The catcher, eyeing the ball...completely focused. The only way he
will miss is if the ball doesn't reach him at all.
- And finally the outfielder, scopes up the ground ball and throws it
with a mighty swing towards first base. He is determined to get the
runner out.
Many sports posters are easily available today. These can be your favorite
baseball stars or your favorite teams. Maybe it's a Mickey Mantle or a
Babe Ruth you are looking for. Or maybe it's a New York Mets print that
has intrigued you for months. Whatever the case may be, baseball posters
make excellent collectibles.
