Arguably the most important position in the game of baseball, the Cy Young Award that is presented each year to the best pitcher in both the National and American Leagues has been won by 21 different pitchers that have also been inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame with 11 winning the award multiple times. Offered here, is this collection of 32 single-signed baseballs that have been autographed by pitchers who have been inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. All signed on either Official Major League, American League or National League baseballs made by Rawlings, the balls have all been signed with ballpoint pen signatures by their respective signors. Autographs include those from Gaylord Perry (x2), Fergie Jenkins (x2), Phil Neikro (x2), Steve Carlton (x2), Jim “Catfish” Hunter (x2), Warren Spahn (x2), Whitey Ford (x2), Bruce Sutter, Bob Gibson, Carl Hubbell, Dennis Eckersley, Don Drysdale, Jim Palmer, Don Sutton, Jim Bunning, Bert Blyleven, Goose Gossage, Lefty Gomez, Bob Feller, Rollie Fingers, Juan Marichal, Sandy Koufax, Tom Seaver and Tommy Lasorda. An additional ball is also included, signed by Ralph Branca and Bobby Thompson. All the signatures remain legible with some showing some fading from age, the worst of which is seen on one of the Warren Spahn examples. The balls also largely remain in good condition, with some showing either full or partial toning in spots and all the stampings also strong and legible with only a small number of smudges seen on a couple of the offered balls. Additionally, most of the signatures have been authenticated by companies such as PSA/DNA, JSA, MLB and Steiner with many coming with matching COA’s.
