Often the rarest player/uniform combinations are from the tail end of stars careers when they had little left to give but a name and a draw at the gate. Here we find Hall of Famer Jimmie Foxx in full uniform in a familiar city (Philadelphia) but for a new team... the Phillies! After an incredible career for the Athletics and Red Sox, he was shipped off to the Phillies for one last go around in 1945 and this is the ONLY example of Jimmie Foxx in uniform with the team in 1945 we have ever seen! Large and bold, this is a rarity from one of the greatest players of all time.
