RICO PETROCELLI
Signed color photograph of the MLB player, shown as shortstop for the Red Sox.
Photograph signed: "Rico Petrocelli", in blue ink. Color, 8x10. PSA/DNA sticker (K11023) at
lower left margin. Two-time All Star Rico Petrocelli played his entire career with the
Boston Red Sox (1965-1976) plus one game on September 21, 1963, when he went 1 for 4
with a double and an RBI. An All-Star in 1967 and 1969, Petrocelli played in the 1967 and
1975 World Series. In Game Six of the 1967 World Series, Petrocelli, Carl Yastrzemski,
and Reggie Smith set a World Series record by hitting three homers in an inning (the
fourth). It was Petrocelli's second shot to clear Fenway's Green Monster that game. His rare
combination of power and infield glove work was displayed best in 1969, when he set an AL
record for most home runs by a shortstop, with 40, and tied a then-record for fewest
errors by a shortstop, with 14. Petrocelli was moved to third base in 1971 after Boston
acquired Luis Aparicio, and led the league in fielding his first year at his new position. But
elbow problems in 1974, and a leg injury and beaning in 1975, cost him playing time. He hit
just seven HR in 1975, but batted .308 in the World Series. Inner-ear problems helped to end
his career. PSA/DNA sticker at lower margin. Fine condition.
