Item Description

You are bidding on a 2010 World Series  8x10 Photo of "The Catch" autographed by Freddy Sanchez
On July 29, 2009, Freddy Sanchez was dealt to the San Francisco Giants for minor league pitcher Tim Alderson. And 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 Francisco. And Sanchez made World Series history, becoming the first player ever to collect three doubles in his first three World Series at-bats off Texas Rangers ace Cliff Lee in an 11-7 victory. He also made an unforgettable leaping catch in Game 4 preserving a tight Giants win on the road. That great World Series 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!
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.
