Joe Morgan 600 Stolen Bases and 200 Home Runs presentational base c.1979 . Joe Morgan changed the game for the second base position with a unique combination of power and speed. Morgan established the mark of 600 career stolen bases on September 26, 1979 just one year after collecting his 200th career home run.

Offered is the presentational base from Morgan's collection commemorating that dual milestone achievement with hand painted titling on a period base. The base itself display apparent game use with thick coat of additional white paint applied over the surface and titling in black paint. Majority of the original Hollywood Bases "Sportsway" manufacturer's label remains affixed underneath the base with original metal post intact. Unique milestone related game equipment piece having relation to a very select career achievement. Includes letter of provenance from Theresa Morgan: VG-EX
