Jake Gibbs Lot of Two (2) Hand Drawn & Signed Football Plays (Beckett/BAS)

Former Major League Baseball player who played for the New York Yankees as a platoon catcher from 1962 to 1971. Although Gibbs was the regular starting catcher for New York in 1967 and 1968, he was primarily a back-up for Elston Howard and then Thurman Munson at the tail-end of his career. Prior to beginning his professional baseball career, Gibbs had successful careers in college baseball and college football at the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) for the Ole Miss Rebels. He was also a member of the Pi Kappa Alpha (PIKE) Fraternity. He returned to Ole Miss to coach the baseball and football teams.

Offered is a pair of 8" x 10" football play sheets, each featuring plays drawn up in Gibbs' hand and signed by the former MLB and College Football star in black felt tip marker. In fine condition. Both plays are authenticated by Beckett Authentication Services (BAS).
