Lot 971: No Hit Pitcher's Signed Baseball
ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||
One of the most rare and celebrated occurrences in all of sports is the storied, no-hitter. The mounting pressure that builds as the innings grow old proves too heavy for most men of the mound but there are a select few who fate and steady nerves do favor. Eight of those pitchers have signed this Official American League (Harridge) baseball in ballpoint pen. They include: Don Larsen, Bob Feller, Joe Wood, Johnny VanderMeer, Allie Reynolds, Hoyt Wilhelm, Virgil Trucks, and Jim Bunning. Overall the autographs grade a "7" out of possible "10" and the lightly and evenly toned ball is EX-EX+. Signatures obtained at different times by Arthur Susskind Jr.
