Here is an original leather baseball glove that is the Rawlings Glove Company made George McQuinn model and is so embossed. What makes this one extra special is that it was signed by Hall of Famer, Buck Leonard. Walter Fenner "Buck" Leonard (September 8, 1907 – November 27, 1997) was an American first baseman in Negro league baseball and in the Mexican League. After growing up in North Carolina, he played for the Homestead Grays between 1934 and 1950, batting fourth behind Josh Gibson for many years. The Grays teams of the 1930s and 1940s were considered some of the best teams in Negro league history. Leonard and Gibson are two of only nine players in league history to win multiple batting titles. Leonard never played in Major League Baseball (MLB); he declined a 1952 offer of an MLB contract because he felt he was too old. Late in life, Leonard worked as a physical education instructor and was the vice-president of a minor league baseball team. He and Gibson were elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1972. In 1999, he was ranked number 47 on the 100 Greatest Baseball Players list by The Sporting News. Leonard played for the Brooklyn Royal Giants (1933) and the Homestead Grays (1934–1950). During that career, Leonard was an 11 time All-Star (1935, 1937–1941, 1943–1946, 1948), a 3 time Negro World Series champion (1943, 1944, 1948), 2 time Negro National League batting champion (1935, 1938) and is a member of the Washington Nationals Ring of Honor and the Pirates Hall of Fame. It has been authenticated by the Beckett Authentication Services. It is boldly signed in ink in nice large letters. It is accompanied by the letter of authenticity. It is a great glove and autograph with the letter of authenticity as a bonus.
