In the baseball season of 1932, Jimmie Foxx made a concerted assault on Babe Ruth’s home run record of 60 in a season. The Philadelphia A’s strong boy came up two short, ending his season with a mere 58 home runs. For that stellar summer of '32, he was awarded the American League's Most Valuable Player Award. Handsome silver plated trophy has engraved on two-thirds of the front "James Emory Foxx - First Baseman - Philadelphia Athletics - Voted Most Valuable Player In American League For 1932 Season By The Sporting News Committee." The reverse features a raised batter in a batting pose. In remarkable condition, this significant major award stands in at 29" tall from its base to the apex of the silver baseball which rests on top of three crossed bats. The base has some minor age-related wear noticed, none of which takes away from the trophy's appearance and extreme desirability. Comes with an 8x10" photograph (modern print) of Foxx holding the trophy when it was awarded to him in 1932.
