262. Jimmie Foxx 1935 Sterling Silver Achievement Medal<br />
Glancing at Jimmie Foxx’s impressive statistics, one would be inclined to surmise that<br />
he was worth his weight in gold. Thinking along those lines, The American Home presented<br />
the Philadelphia Athletics slugger with this sterling silver medal for his efforts<br />
in 1935. Measuring 1-15/16 x 3-3/16” with rounded corners, the 7.2-oz. sterling silver<br />
prize has engravings which read: “ACHIEVEMENT MEDAL AWARDED BY THE<br />
AMERICAN HOME – JIMMIE FOXX 1935.” On the reverse, an ornate relief design<br />
portrays an outdoor garden. In his final season with the Athletics, Foxx clubbed a<br />
league-best 36 home runs in 1936 to warrant this unique bestowal.<br />
