HOF B&W Plaque Type 1 Cy Young PSA/DNA 8 NM-MT Auto GradE
Offered here is a 1946-52 Albertype Black & White Baseball Hall of Fame Plaque that has been authenticated, slabbed and graded a PSA/DNA 8 NM-MT. A stunning piece of signed memorabilia from the man nicknamed "Cy", short for Cyclone. Denton True Young was one of the most consistent and durable pitchers in baseball history. Cy Young set records that will probably stand forever. He won more than 30 games five times and recorded 20 or more victories in an astounding 15 seasons. Young explained: "I had a good arm and legs. When I would go to Spring Training, I would never touch a ball for three weeks. I never did any unnecessary throwing." His 511 career wins, along with the record for innings pitched at 7,355, games started, and this stat is just plain crazy: he has 749 complete games, a standard that may never be broken. In 1956, about one year after Young's death, the Cy Young Award was created to honor the best pitcher in Major League Baseball for each season.
