Presented is an outstanding assemblage of four items commemorating Hall of Famer Gil Hodges' historic feat of hitting four home runs in a single game.

Encapsulated as "Authentic" by PSA/DNA. 3) 1951 Baseball Digest with Gil Hodges featured on the cover. 4) Modern print captures Hodges with his teammate in the locker room celebrating this historic event. Matted and framed to total dimensions of 19-1/4 x 17-3/4 inches. Total: 4 items (one signed and three unsigned). The size/weight of this item requires that there will be an additional shipping charge for this lot.
