Description
Elliott Maddox spent just two seasons in the Tigers’ farm system, never playing higher than high A ball, before making his major league debut as a 22 year old in 1970. An exceptional all around fielder, Maddox split his minor league career between the outfield & third base. Likewise, when he joined the Tigers, he served as both a fourth outfielder & third baseman Don Wert’s backup. He batted .248 with three home runs and 24 runs batted in his only season in Detroit to earn “Tigers Rookie of the Year” honors from the Detroit Sports Broadcasters’ Association.
Presented is an ONL (Coleman) baseball autographed by Elliott Maddox. He signed it on the sweet spot in blue ballpoint pen (“8”). The ball itself shows toning from age.
