Yakov Smirnoff signed ROAL Official American League Baseball minor spots- JSA Hologram #EE41772 (Writer/Comedian/Actor)

Yakov Smirnoff is a Soviet-born American comedian, actor and writer. He began his career as a stand-up comedian in Ukraine, then immigrated to the United States in 1977 in order to pursue an American show business career, not yet knowing any English. He reached his biggest success in the mid-to-late 1980s, appearing in several films and the television sitcom vehicle What a Country!. His comic persona was of a naive immigrant from the Soviet Union who was perpetually confused and delighted by life in the United States. His humor combined a mockery of life under communism and of consumerism in the United States, as well as word play caused by misunderstanding of American phrases and culture, all punctuated by the catchphrase, "And I thought, 'What a country!'"  Yakov Smirnoff has hand autographed this ROAL Official American League Baseball (Lee MacPhail President). JSA Hologram #EE41772 and Certificate of Authenticity.  Minor spots, sold as is, no returns.
