George "Highpockets" Kelly was one of the top fielding first basemen of the early 20th century and a consistent .300 hitter. This size 13 ring was presented to Kelly upon his induction to the Baseball Hall of Fame. On the top is a silver baseball set upon a black background. It reads "Baseball Hall of Fame" around the top and "Kelly Elected 1973" on the right shank. On the left shank is "1st Baseman The National Baseball Hall of Fame" with a relief of the Hall itself. It is stamped "Balfour 10K" on the inside. It is accompanied by signed documentation from Kelly's son attesting to its authenticity. One of the very few Hall of Fame rings available for public sale.
