"Munson made only one error while behind the plate in 1971 (he was knocked unconscious by a runner- dislodging the ball). He went on to win three straight Gold Glove Awards starting in 1973. A seven-time All-Star- Munson hit 113 home runs- batted in 701 runners- and had a career batting average of .292 over his 10-year career. He was also the first captain named by the Yankees since Lou Gehrig. Munson helped lead his team to three consecutive World Series (1976–78)- where he batted a remarkable .373 overall (.339 in the American League Championship Series). From 1975-77- Munson hit .300 or better with 100 or more RBI each year- becoming the first catcher to accomplish the feat in three consecutive years since Yankee Hall of Famer Bill Dickey did it four straight seasons from 1936-39. Each Majestic Cooperstown jersey is beautifully framed in suede alongside laser cut team logos- hand crafted stat banner- a facsimile laser cut signature and 2 classic 8x10 photos. Officially licensed by Major League Baseball. Measures 36"" x 42""."
