Significance of autograph (rare):
One of the most anticipated World Series opening day pitcher matchups—Denny McLain versus Bob Gibson. McLain, a thirty-one regular game winner with a 1.96 ERA and 28 complete games; Gibson, this ’68 season with 22 wins, the lowest ERA in the dead-ball era, 1.12, and also 28 complete games. Gibson would pitch the greatest opening day game in World Series history. You know what is crazy about this series? Mickey Lolich won three games and was the series MVP. Note: We have added a second signed card with three HOFs—Al Kaline, named Mr. Tiger; Gibson; and Lou Brock, the MLB’s premier base runner/stealer for 10 years.
