Mel Ott played his entire 22-career for the New York Giants from 1926-1947. He was one of the most feared power hitters of his time, leading the National League in home runs 6 times and he was the first National League player to hit 500 home runs. A 12-time National League All-Star, he was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1951. Ott died in an automobile accident in 1958 at the age of 49, making his signed material an always desired commodity. Offered here is a vintage black & white candid photograph of Ott outside of the Giants dugout, signed on the reverse in fountain tip ink. In overall fine condition with a water spot to the end of the signature. Authenticated & encapsulated by Beckett Authentication Services (BAS).
