Waite Hoyt was the mainstay of six Yankee pennant winners during the 1920s, and the right-hander was a dominant force in helping his team claim the 1927 World Series. After winning 22 games that season, Hoyt defeated the Pirates in game one of the Fall Classic, setting the tone for a Yankees sweep. Here is a single-signed official 1983 All-Star Game (Bowie Kuhn) baseball that Hoyt has signed in black ink on a panel below the 50th Anniversary Game commemorative logo. The ball remains quite clean with only slight signature fading. Hoyt was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1969.
