Joe Torre has led an amazing life in baseball. During his days on the field, from 1960 to 1977, he played for the Milwaukee/Atlanta Braves, St. Louis Cardinals and New York Mets, batting .297 and hitting 252 home runs. Along the way, he was 1971's NL MVP and played in nine All-Star Games. He became a manager in 1977, serving as the skipper of the Mets, Braves and Cardinals before taking the helm of the New York Yankees in 1996. It was Torre's calm demeanor and peerless managing skills that, in 1996, led the Yankees to their first World Series title in almost 20 years. Torre subsequently delivered three more championships in the following four years and was recognized as the AL Manager of the Year in 1996 and 1998. Among his other accomplishments, he has managed the AL All-Star squad six times and on June 7, 2007, won his 2,000th game as a manager. Joe Torre has hand signed this 8x10 photograph of him shaking hands with Yankees reliever Mariano Rivera after the Bombers defeated the Boston Red Sox 10-7 in Game One of the American League Championship Series on October 12, 2004, at Yankee Stadium. A Steiner Sports Certificate of Authenticity is included.
