You are bidding on a 2010 WS 8x10 Photo autographed by Freddy Sanchez.
SF Giants 2B Freddy Sanchez graduated in 1996 from Burbank High School in Burbank, California, where he was a consistent three-year varsity player. His success in high school was nothing short of miraculous as Freddy was born with a severely pigeon-toed left foot and a club right foot with an initial medical prognosis that he might never walk. But surgery at a young age and years of physical therapy allowed Freddy to pursue his baseball dreams. Sanchez was originally signed by Boston Red Sox scout Ernie Jacobs after being selected in the 11th round of the 2000 draft. At the 2003 trading deadline, Sanchez was dealt to Pittsburgh. Nice trade by the Pirates. In 2006, Sanchez became the first Pirate to win a batting title since Bill Madlock in 1983, beating Florida Marlins Miguel Cabrera on the last day of the season. He made his MLB All-Star Game debut in his own ballpark at PNC Park in 2006 as the starter for the Pirates.
On July 29, 2009, Sanchez was dealt to the San Francisco Giants for minor league pitcher Tim Alderson. And boy was his first full year in SF one to remember. Sanchez had a very nice (and memorable) year hitting .292 en route to the Giants World Series Championship, the franchise's first since moving to San Franicsco. And Sanchez made WS history, becoming the first player ever to collect 3 doubles in his first 3 World Series at-bats off Texas Rangers ace Cliff Lee in an 11-7 victory. He also made a heck of a leaping catch in Game 4 preserving a tight Giants win on the road. That great WS Moment is captured in this beauty, a hand-signed photograph of "The Catch," quality framed w/ commemorative SGA Floating Plate. A great gift for any Giants Fan!
