Auction Date:4/28/2006 9:00 PM EST

As good a single signed CY baseball as you will ever find. Some Cy facts: He holds the major league record for complete games with 751. He holds the major league record for innings pitched with 7,356. He won 20 or more games in sixteen different seasons. He won 30 or more games in five seasons. He started 40 or more games eleven times in his career. He led the league in shutouts seven times. These stats merely scratch the surface of just how much distance is between him and the rest, statistically. A single-signed and dated ball from Cy Young. Wow! Anchor Brand Major League ball with "Double Welded" Center. This ball shows a tiny bit of wear, and is in ridiculously great condition. Signed "Cy Young Nov. 3 1950." Seams are as tight and crisp as the day the ball was created. It's oh so easy to picture Cy winging it at some batter with knocking knees. LOA from owner, who was given the ball in person from Cy Young!
