Description: This vintage TIME magazine cover, dated March 30, 1925 features Hall of Fame member George Sisler and a special 11x14 beveled mat. It is a must-have for any sports fan or collector. Sisler played 2nd Base and hit .358 for his career from 1915-1937 for 6 teams, the first 11 years with the St. Louis Cardinals, and was a Player-Manager for 12 years beginning in 1925. He was a 7 time batting champion (including the year of this cover with a .387 average for the Boston Braves), with 2 Triple Crowns (1922 and 1925), and was a 2 time American League MVP. This original cover is a rare find, sure to be a valuable addition to any collection. This is one of my collection of 21 hard to fine original TIME magazine covers (not whole magazines) featuring famous baseball and football players that I acquired 15 years ago. I had been looking for over 30 years in antique shops, old book stores, and in flea markets up and down the East Coast. But while many people over the years collected LIFE magazines with sports personalities on the covers, for some reason hardly anyone kept their TIME issues. Some of these are very rare and almost 100 years old. The previous owner of this group had mounted them in mats, so they are ready for framing and adding to your own personal sports collections.
