JOE TORRE
Shown as the manager of the St. Louis Cardinals in this 4x6 photograph.
Photograph signed: "Joe Torre" in black felt tip, Color 4x6. In an 18-year Major League career
beginning in 1961, Joe Torre made the All-Star nine times, playing for the Braves (in both
Milwaukee and Atlanta), Cardinals and Mets. In 1971 with St. Louis, he was the National
League's Most Valuable Player, leading the league in batting average (.363), total bases, RBI's
(137) and several other hitting categories. The versatile Torre caught 903 games, while playing
787 at 1B, 515 at 3B, and two in the outfield. Beginning in 1977, Torre managed the same
three teams he had played for. Then, in 1996, he took over the reins of the New York
Yankees, leading them to six pennants and four World Championships through 2006. In the
first half of the 2007 season, he passed Miller Huggins (1,796) and Casey Stengel (1,851)
to become the second longest-reigning Yankees manager (1,862 at mid-season), trailing
only Joe McCarthy (2,348 games between 1931 and 1946). Declining a new Yankees contract
at a reduced salary, Torre became manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2008, taking the
club to the National League Championship series in each of his first two seasons. Slightly
worn. Otherwise, fine condition.
