Don Newcombe signed Brooklyn Dodgers 8X10 B&W Photo- JSA Hologram (horizontal-play at 2nd base)

Until 2011 when Detroit Tigers Pitcher Justin Verlander did it, Don Newcombe was the only baseball player to have won the Rookie of the Year, Most Valuable Player and Cy Young awards in his career. In 1949, he became the first black pitcher to start a World Series game. In 1951, Newcombe was the first black pitcher to win twenty games in one season. In 1956, he was the first pitcher to win the National League MVP and the Cy Young Award in the same season.  It was during this era that Willard Mullin, a noted sports cartoonist, fixed the Brooklyn team with the lovable nickname of "Dem Bums". After hearing his cab driver ask, "So how did those bums do today?".  Don Newcombe has hand signed this Brooklyn Dodgers 8X10 Photo.  JSA Hologram and Certificate of Authenticity.
