Dick Radatz Signed Baseball Red Sox – COA

Dick Radatz was an American relief pitcher in Major League Baseball. Nicknamed “The Monster”, the 6 ft 6 in (1.98 m), 230 lb (100 kg) right-hander had a scorching but short-lived period of dominance for the Boston Red Sox in the early sixties. He got his nickname by striking out several New York Yankees in a row at a game in Fenway Park in 1963. Mickey Mantle, who was struck out by Radatz 12 times in his 16 career at bats against the pitcher, was heard calling him “that monster”, and the name stuck.

Presented is an OAL (Budig) baseball autographed by Dick Radatz. He signed it on the sweet spot in blue ballpoint pen (“9”). The ball itself shows toning from age.
