Hoyt was 24-10 with a 3.66ERA for the White Sox in 1983. Hoyt pitched a career high 260.2 innings and had 148 strikeouts...another career high. The item featured here is a signed "Cy Young Award Winner" baseball. I had it inscribed with name, year of Cy Young, record, and ERA. I had it done during a baseball card show where Hoyt was one of many guests in attendance. Great item for sure and unique on this sort of baseball. I also have another one on a regular MLB ball for another post.
The White Sox ONLY had 3 Cy Young Award winners in their history including Early Wynn, LaMarr Hoyt, and Jack McDowell. Hoyt played a critical role on the field but unfortunately had many off the field problems that saw Hoyt traded and eventually faded away into MLB purgatory. Great item to own. Again...unique...and part of White Sox history.
