I am selling some pieces from an baseball autograph collection, built over a Ten year period. All pieces were purchased from the most reputable names in the industry (James spence, Jim Stinson, Kevin Keating), and would easily pass the PSA/DNA certification process. All autographs are one of a kind. Offered is a autographed reply to an autograph request, from legendary Chicago Cub Picher Ed Reulbach. Chicago's Ed Reulbach was the only pitcher to throw a doubleheader shutout, allowing just eight hits; the two victories on September 26 were among nine he collected against Brooklyn in 1908. Chicago was locked in a tight pennant race with Pittsburgh and New York, and the Cubs' staff was getting weary. Reulbach's wins helped his club finish first, after a one-game playoff. Reulbach's eyesight was poor, so his catchers used white-painted gloves. He set a still-standing record of leading the NL in winning percentage three years in a row, 1906 through 1908, with records of 19-4, 17-4, and 24-7. Yet his spectacular career was often overshadowed by his teammate, Three Finger Brown, and crosstown rival Ed Walsh . Reulbach took the limelight with the first one-hitter in the World Series (1906). His 1906 hits-per-inning ratio of 5.33 per nine innings is the third best in history. His career ERA of 2.28 has been bettered by only ten pitchers.
