Favorite pick up of 2014 was a game used ball from Phil Niekro's 300th win. The ball was autographed, inscribed and given to Phil by John Cerutti who was making his 1st Major League start that day against Phil. Unfortunately the signature and inscription has faded over time and rates about a 2-3, but covers two panels on ball. Ball is clearer in person.
1st side of ball reads: Phil, To the man I had to face in my first ML start I was going for #1 you for #300 Oct 6, 1985 image.jpg Last edited by parker1b2; 12-18-2014 at 09:14 AM.

That is a cool ball. I'll tell you what, black ball point ink is notorious for wrecking more signed balls. It literally becomes invisible ink over time. I'm not sure if you ever heard this fact re: Phil Niekro's 300th win game before but, Niekro was constantly ribbed by teammates that he couldn't win without his "trick" signature pitch the knuckleball. "Knucksie" decided to make his 300th win game interesting and didn't throw his 1st knuckleball until the 9th inning, on what I believe was his FINAL OUT. I guess that showed everyone that he could pitch a little bit. How cool is that? Terrific historic game!

It was classic Billy Martin in the 9th inning from the NY Times summary of the game... Because the division race had ended Saturday, Manager Billy Martin punctuated the ninth inning with uncharacteristic levity. First he allowed Joe Niekro to warm up his older brother before the inning, then he had Joe go to the mound to talk to Phil after Fernandez doubled. ''Joe came out,'' Phil related, ''and asked if I wanted to walk (Jeff) Burroughs and pitch to the next guy. I said I'd just as soon pitch to Burroughs. We were friends and played together in Atlanta.'' Martin also, as a joke, had several pitchers warming up as the inning was beginning. ''I didn't expect that,'' Niekro said. ''Knowing Billy, it didn't surprise me.'' Great stuff As an aside, very sad that John Cerutti passed away so young, he seemed like a fine guy
