By this time, the nucleus of the 1929–31 dynasty was in place for the A's. The team featured three starters who were later elected into the Hall of Fame: catcher Mickey Cochrane and outfielders Al Simmons and Ty Cobb. Cochrane was voted league MVP. Simmons led the team with a .351 batting average and 107 RBI. Cobb, in his last major league season, hit .323 in 95 games. Jimmie Foxx, Tris Speaker, and Eddie Collins also saw playing time for the 1928 team. The pitching staff, led by 24-game winner Lefty Grove, allowed the fewest runs in the AL. This is a beautiful and evenly toned REACH DC/SS/TM USA Ernest S. Bernard OAL baseball, with 16 signatures. HoF’s include: T. Cobb, T. Speaker, A. Simmons, J. Foxx, E. Collins, and M. Cochrane. Keys include: M. Bishop, J. Dykes, B. Miller, and S. Hale. Signatures are done in blue pen. Accompanied by a full JSA LOA.
