Catch this! Hall of Fame catcher Ernest “Ol Schnozz” Lombardi played nine seasons with the Cincinnati Reds from 1932-4. Known for his potent presence behind the plate, he had an outstanding throwing arm from a crouched position. No wonder he was positioned to be not only a future Cooperstown inductee but also a super all-star during his playing years. This sterling silver on wood National League plaque is engraved with the powerful words, “All-Star Award”, representing Ernie’s selection to baseball’s all-star team for the years 1936, ‘37, ‘38 and 1939. The handsome plaque, measures 7” x 8 1/2”, has an attached chain to make it easier to hang, and is signed with the engraved facsimile signature of National League President Ford C. Frick. This plaque proudly comes from a Lombardi family member who knows that Ernie’s all star memory will continue to live on.
