The late great Tom Seaver had the highest percentage of votes for entry into the Hall of Fame when he was inducted in 1992. Only Ken Griffey, Jr., Mariano Rivera and Derek Jeter have since surpassed his percentage. Seaver, an all-time great, turned around a stumbling New York Mets franchise in the late 1960’s, leading them to the World Series title in 1969 and another appearance in 1973. Offered here is an Official Major League Allan H. Selig stamped baseball that has been signed by the legendary pitcher in blue pen on the sweet spot. Seaver has inscribed “HOF ‘92” beneath his signature. Inscribed on the east panel is “311 WINS 3640 Ks 61 SHUTOUTS NO NITTER 6-16-78”, while the west panel has “’69 CY YOUNG ’73 CY YOUNG ’75 CY YOUNG ’67 ROY”. The south panel has inscribed “’69 SI SPORTSMAN OF THE YEAR 2.86 CAREER ERA 2.73 NL CAREER ERA 200 K’s 10 TIMES”, while the north panel has “TOP VOTE % HOF ’92 19K’s ONE GAME 10 CONSECUTIVE K’s 12 ALL STAR GAMES”. This ball is a limited-edition 421/1000 and comes with a LOA from JSA.
