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 PostalService 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.
