Bob Lemon Signed Baseball Indians “H.O.F. ’76” – COA JSA

The Indians played in the 1948 World Series and were helped by Bob Lemon’s two pitching wins as they won the club’s first championship since 1920. In the early 1950s, Cleveland had a starting pitching rotation which included Lemon, Bob Feller, Mike Garcia and Early Wynn. During the 1954 season, Lemon had a career-best 23–7 win–loss record and the Indians set a 154-game season AL-record win mark when they won 111 games before they won the American League (AL) pennant. He was an All-Star for seven consecutive seasons and recorded seven seasons of 20 or more pitching wins in a nine-year period from 1948–1956.

Presented is an OAL (Brown) baseball autographed by Bob Lemon. He signed it on the sweet spot in blue ballpoint pen (“9”) with the inscription, “H.O.F. ’76”. The ball itself shows toning from age.
