Item History & Price
This lot features the 1933 Goudey Bill Terry - #125 PSA 6!Giants! ---
Terry originally tried to make it as a pitcher in themid-1910s. He had some fine seasons in the minor leagues, but was never signedby a big league club. He actually got out of professional ball for a time, taking a job with Standard Oil in Memphis. He continued playing for his plant'steam though, and in 1922 he was brought to the attention of New York Giantsmanager John McGraw.
Much to McGraw's surprise..., Terry wouldn't join the Giantsunless McGraw made it worth his while, and the two would always have a frostyrelationship. McGraw eventually relented, and Terry cemented himself as theGiants' everyday first baseman in 1925 when he hit .319, the second bestaverage on the team, in his first season as a regular.
Terry never batted under .320 in the nine seasons in whichhe received over 500 at-bats. He finished second in the National League inbatting three times but only captured a batting title once, when he hit .401 in1930. He led the Giants in average every year from 1929-35.
