American Baseball Heroes

The Sons of Italy is proud to announce the first-ever limited edition set of heritage cards honoring Italian American Baseball Heroes from the pioneer Buttercup Dickerson in 1878 to Dodger manager Joe Torre in 2009. This historic collectible box of 100 cards, made from original oil paintings commissioned specifically for this set, honoring Italians who contributed to making baseball America's game. For some, this is their first-ever card. For all, this is the most beautiful card set ever issued. Richly boxed and available just in time to make the perfect Christmas gift.



These cards are available as gifts for a small donation made to The Sons of Italy Foundation. The philanthropic arm of the Order Sons of Italy in America (OSIA), founded in 1959 as a private grant-making institution with the purpose of preserving Italian American culture, encouraging educational excellence among Italian Americans and improving lives in other areas. Your fully tax-deductible donation will help the SIF carry on its mission and will be acknowledged with a receipt noting the full deductibility amount.
