Item Description

Detailed
Description

The four players honored on these stamps capture our
imagination for their exploits and for what they symbolize — the best of
baseball — and, in a way, the best of ourselves. In 2012, the Postal
Service salutes Joe DiMaggio, Larry Doby, Willie Stargell, and Ted
Williams. Each of these Hall of Famers was a perennial All-Star
selection and each left an indelible impression on the
game.
Joe DiMaggio (1914-1999) led the New York Yankees to ten
pennants and nine World Series titles. Many consider him the greatest
all-around player of his time.

Ted Williams (1918-2002) of the Boston Red Sox was the last
Major League player to bat over .400 for a single season (1941). During
his stellar career, he won six American League batting titles and four
home run titles. Today, “the Kid” is regarded as one of the all-time
greatest hitters in Major League Baseball
history.

Larry Doby
(1923-2003) was the first African American to play in the American
League, joining the Cleveland Indians shortly after Jackie Robinson
broke the color barrier in the National League. He faced prejudice with
dignity and courage.

Willie Stargell (1940-2001) powered the 1979 Pittsburgh
Pirates, a multicultural team known as “The Family,” to a World Series
title. He is also remembered for promoting harmony between players from
different backgrounds.

Artist Kadir Nelson based his artwork on historic
photographs of the four players. Art director Phil Jordan designed the
stamps.

The Major League Baseball
All-Stars stamps are being issued as Forever®
stamps. Forever stamps are always equal in value to the current
First-Class Mail one-ounce
rate.
