Outstanding signed 8" by 10" signed George Burke photo of Hall of Fame umpire Bill Klem, often called the "Father of Umpires". Klem umpired in the National League for 37 years, from 1905 thru 1941 and worked a record 18 World Series. He passed away in 1951. Unimprovable MINT PSA/DNA black ink "Yours Truly Wm. J. Klem" adorns the lower right corner of the crystal clear Burke image. Photo clean front and back with the Burke stamp at the bottom back right. A couple of creases at the edge that do not break the photo paper. Will look great framed. Includes a full LOA from PSA/DNA (signature grade MINT PSA/DNA 9).
