Willie Mays Home Run Ball
Willie Mays is one of the greatest players of all-time, having enjoyed a Hall of Fame career with the New York and San Francisco Giants before ending his career with the New York Mets. When he retired at the end of the 1973 season, he had 660 home runs. Mays' explosiveness at the plate made him one of the most dangerous players in the game's history. A picture of Mays making a spectacular catch in the outfield alongside an autographed home run ball makes a dramatic shadow box display.
Michael Jordan Jersey
ESPN named Michael Jordan the top basketball player of the 20th century. He won MVP in the NBA Finals six times during the Chicago Bulls' six championships. An autographed pair of Jordan basketball shoes alongside an action shot of Jordan dunking on a helpless opponent makes for a spectacular shadow box display. Jordan wore a new pair of shoes in every NBA game and signed most of them, so it is possible to get a pair of his shoes and then display them.
Bobby Orr Puck
Most people recognize Wayne Gretzky as the greatest hockey player of all time. Gretzky's offensive talents re-wrote hockey's record books, but for sheer athletic ability and explosiveness it would be hard to put any player ahead of Bobby Orr. The former Boston Bruins defenseman revolutionized the game via his unmatched ability to jump into the play at the offensive end, something defensemen rarely did before Orr came along. Orr's Stanley Cup winning goal against the St. Louis Blues is widely recognized as the most memorable hockey goal of all time. After scoring the game-winning goal, Orr immediately went airborne̵2;instantly creating an iconic sports image. An autographed picture of that goal in a shadow box alongside a game-used puck by Orr makes a memorable display.
