Mike Garcia Single Signed AUTO OAL (Budig) Baseball PSA/DNA LOA

Mike Garcia (D. 1986 at age 62) was the ace of the Cleveland Indians' legendary "Big Four" rotation alongside Bob Lemon, Early Wynn, and Bob Feller from 1949 to 1954, a staff widely regarded as one of baseball's greatest. During those six seasons, Garcia compiled a 104 to 57 record.

 He won 20 or more games twice (with 2 seasons that he won 18 and 19 games respectively), led the AL in ERA twice, helped Cleveland win the 1954 AL pennant, finished runner-up for the 1954 AL MVP Award, and was a six-time All-Star. He finished his career with the White sox and Senators and had a lifetime 142-97 record and a 3.27 ERA.

Offered is a single signed Rawlings Official American League Baseball (Lee MacPhail – Haiti) that dates from 1982 (based on manufacturer markings).  The ball derives out of a collection based in Cleveland and we presumed this was signed in person. It features a bold blue sharpie pen signature on the side panel (we’d rate it 7-8/10).

The ball itself is heavily toned due to the leather used in the Haiti factory during this time. Despite this fact, finding Garcia on a single signed baseball is extremely tough!
