This is a signed photo of Gene Tenace (born 1946), 

who played catcher for the Oakland Athletics 

when they won three consecutive World Series 

championships in 1972, 1973, and 1974.

Tenace became the first player in baseball history 

to hit home runs in his first two World Series at bats. 

In the 1972 Series, which I well remember watching 

on television, he went 8-for-23, with four home runs 

and nine RBIs. 

After the Athletics won that World Series by beating 

the Cincinnati Reds four games to three, Tenace was

chosen the 1972 World Series Most Valuable Player. 

In his thirteen year career, Tenace twice finished

in the top twenty in American League MVP voting.

He was selected to the All Star team in 1975, and

had a total of 201 home runs.

The autograph is in black ink on a 10" by 8" b/w photo.

The photo is in fine condition. It comes with a 

certificate of authenticity from JG Autographs.
