1933 Goudey Tony Lazzeri #31 PSA 2 MK (Autograph Grade 8). Only one example of the 7 that have been graded had graded higher than a PSA 2. Anthony Michael Lazzeri (December 6, 1903 - August 6, 1946) was a key member of the infamous Murderers’ Row Yankees team in the 1920s that featured Ruth, Gehrig and Meusel alongside Lazzeri. Tony played second base primarily for the New York Yankees (1926-1937). Tony Lazzeri is one of a dozen or so Major League player to hit for the natural cycle (single, double, triple, home run in succession) and the only to complete the feat with a grand slam. Lazzeri is considered one of the best offensive second basemen of his era, despite playing the shadows of Ruth, Gehrig and DiMaggio. Tony retired with 1,840 hits, 986 runs, 1,191 RBI with a .292 batting average and posted a career .967 fielding percentage. He was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1991. Part of The Uncle Jimmy Collection.
