Lou Boudreau
|
|
(b. July 17, 1914 - d. August 10, 2001)
|
| Both as a fielder and a hitter, Boudreau was one of the game's great
shortstops. He was named Cleveland's player-manager in 1942 at age
24. In 1948, he led the club to the AL pennant, hitting .355, scoring
116 runs, while driving in 106, easily capturing the AL MVP Award.
Boudreau led AL shortstops in fielding eight times. As manager,
he won 1,162 games. |

Comments: A 1951 Bowman was my first
portrait card of Lou Boudreau. I purchased the card in November,
2002. That same month, I replaced it with a 1955/6 Rodeo Meats
because I liked the image a lot more. It was submitted to PSA
and came back GOOD 2. One of my friends in the hobby, Marty Pritchard,
sold me this toughie in January, 2003. I really like this card
and you just don't see them any nicer than this. This card is
actually a 1956 version and PSA mislabeled the holder. It is the
highest graded example to date. Slight corner wear and some staining.
I've been looking for an upgrade ever since and have had zero
luck.
