Hall of Famer Tom Seaver picked up his 300th career victory as a member of the Chicago White Sox in a 4-1 complete game against the New York Yankees in the Bronx. It was Seaver’s 12th victory of the 1985 season, striking out seven, walking one and allowing only six hits. In 20 seasons, Seaver pitched for the New York Mets, Cincinnati Reds, the White Sox and the Boston Red Sox, and compiled a 311-205 record with a 2.86 career ERA. A three-time Cy Young Award winner and the 1967 National League Rookie of the Year, Seaver was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1992 in what was at the time, the highest percentage of votes.

This ball has been signed and inscribed by Seaver in blue fiber-tipped marker on the side panel with the inscription “#300” above the signature and “8-4-85” below.
