Beautiful 34" by 11" by 9" Hillerich & Bradsby Co. Silver Slugger Award trophy given to San Diego Padre catcher Benito Santiago as a member of the 1988 Sporting News National League Offensive Team. Plaque honors Santiago as well as the other 8 position players selected. The National League Rookie of the Year for 1987, Santiago had the sophomore jinx the next year but still took the Silver Slugger Award with his 10 HRs, 46 RBIs and .248 average. Santiago has signed the trophy in 9-10/10 black felt tip pen on the back "Benito Santiago". Trophy in nice condition but the bat is somewhat loose.
LOA from Benito Santiago.
Pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
