A 8-time All-Star with a career .285 batting average and 2,472 hits, Simmons was finally inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2020 by the Modern Era Committee — long overdue recognition for a player many historians consider among the five greatest catchers of all time. A signed game used piece from his Milwaukee era is a rare and meaningful collector's item.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Topps","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54839340957909,"sku":null,"price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0818\/5783\/9317\/files\/IMG_0712.jpg?v=1788575669","url":"https:\/\/taylormadetradingcompany.com\/products\/1985-topps-318-ted-simmons-authentic-autograph-1985-game-used-patch-jf-authentic-collection-milwaukee-brewers","provider":"Taylor Made Trading Company, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
