Known as "the original home run king of the majors", Frank Baker played third base from 1908-1922 for the Philadelphia Athletics followed by the New York Yankees. He led the American League in home runs for four consecutive years (1911-1914) and his legacy has grown over the years, being regarded by many as one of the best power hitters of the deadball era.

Overall in good condition, the clean postcard contains typical addressing and postage stamping on the reverse. Baker's autographs stands out just as strong as the day he penned it. Authenticated & encapsulated by PSA/DNA.
