Major League Baseball Hall of Fame

Autographed Hall of Fame Plaque Postcard

(1921-2003) He played 21 seasons in Major League Baseball as one of the greatest left handed starting pitchers of all time playing with the Boston Braves, Milwaukee Braves, New York Mets and San Francisco Giants. His baseball career was interrupted by his military service in the United States Army during World War II. With 363 career wins, Spahn holds the major league record for a left-handed pitcher, and has the most by any pitcher who played his entire career in the post-1920 live-ball era. He was a 17-time All-Star who won 20 games or more in 13 seasons. Spahn won the 1957 Cy Young Award, in the same year that the Braves were world champions, and he was a three-time runner-up during the period when only one award was given for both leagues. At the time of his retirement in 1965, Spahn held the Major League record for career strikeouts by a left-handed pitcher. Spahn was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility in 1973. Among his 363 wins, his career era was 3.09, and he had 2,583 strike outs. He led the National League in wins for 8 seasons, was the strike out king in the N.L. four times, pitched two no hitters, and is a member of the Braves Hall of Fame, and a coveted member of Major League Baseball's All Century Team.

For those of you who don't know me I have been a professional American historian for almost 50 years, and have consulted for some of the most important institutions in the United States. I also played baseball at Eastern Kentucky University on a full scholarship, and have been collecting sports memorabilia for over 60 years. Through my connections and friends, I have had the distinct honor to meet and become friends with many MLB players, managers, coaches, executives, scouts, etc. The time has come in my life to pass my collection on to others to enjoy. If you have any particulars wants please feel free to contact me as I literally have over 3,500 sports autographs in several different formats. Thank you for looking, and for your interest.
