No, it's a magazine rack I bought from a Borders book store as they were going out of business.They were selling all of their book cases, shelving etc etc and this display was something I thought would look cool displaying comics and sketch covers. I usually swap out what I display in it.
This is not really comic related but it's most likely going in my office/comic room. My gf bought this as an anniversary gift for me. Apparently her friend babysits for a man that owns a store that sells sports memorabilia. She remembered that I've always wanted an autographed jersey from Don Larsen, Marino Riveria, or Michael Jordon.
So she called her friend and asked if she could talk to her boss. The guy apparently had the Marino and Jordan jerseys but decided Larsen would be her choice for me. Although he didn't have the Don Larsen jersey, he happened to know Don Larsen's manager. A few emails were sent and he got Mr. Don Larsen to sign an authentic wool Yankees jersey for me! Now our anniversary isn't until next week but apparently there's one more gift waiting for me. I think I'm going to buy this woman an engangement ring soon.
Now Mr. Don Larsen was the first and only pitcher to ever pitch a perfect game in the MLB postseason and World Series history. This was during game 5 vs the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1956.

I too am a huge Yankee fan,and a Don Larsen fan too.I have the same photograph that's in your frame autographed.I am a little jealous of the uniform(alot).
