Only 23 Perfect Games have been tossed in Major League Baseball history. The first was Lee Richmonds gem that he pitched for the Worcester Ruby Legs against the Cleveland Blues on June 12 1880 just five days before Monte Ward of the Providence Grays repeated the feat against the Buffalo Bisons 1-0. A rare accomplishment indeed just 13 perfect games have been tossed in the past 35 years and only one has ever occurred in World Series play when New York Yankees right-hander Don Larsen teamed with battery mate Yogi Berra to blank the Brooklyn Dodgers 2-0 in Game 5 of the Fall Classic on Oct. 8 1956.
This lot features six limited-edition multi-signed baseballs that have been signed by 11 different pitchers who have thrown a Perfect Game including Larsen Sandy Koufax Mike Witt David Wells Kenny Roger David Cone Tom Browning Jim Bunning Randy Johnson Lem Barker and Dennis Martinez. Koufaxs autograph occupies the sweet spot on each OML baseball. Each of the pitchers have inscribed the dates of their respective Perfect Games next to their signatures. The limited-edition baseballs are numbered 68/115 72/115 73/115 74/115 75/115 and PP14/15 respectively.
Pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
