  • Ernie Banks, Duke Snider, Lou Brock Hand Signed Autographed Baseballs
  • Ernie Banks (1931–2015), Duke Snider (1926–2011), and Lou Brock (1939–2020) were three legendary National League stars and members of the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Banks, affectionately known as “Mr. Cub,” spent his entire 19-season Major League career with the Chicago Cubs. A 14-time All-Star, he won back-to-back National League MVP Awards in 1958 and 1959 and finished his career with 512 home runs, becoming one of the greatest power-hitting shortstops in baseball history.Snider, nicknamed the “Duke of Flatbush,” was the powerful center fielder of the Brooklyn Dodgers’ celebrated teams of the 1950s. An eight-time All-Star, he hit 407 career home runs and helped the Dodgers capture their historic first World Series championship in 1955, followed by another title after the franchise moved to Los Angeles in 1959.Brock became one of baseball’s greatest base stealers after joining the St. Louis Cardinals in 1964. A six-time All-Star and two-time World Series champion, he accumulated 3,023 hits and 938 stolen bases, retiring as Major League Baseball’s all-time career stolen-base leader. He also set a then-record with 118 stolen bases in 1974. Together, Banks, Snider, and Brock represent an exceptional trio of power, hitting, speed, and some of the most memorable careers of their era.
