Waite Hoyt Signed 8 x 10 Matted 4 x 6 Photo Auto Autographed 1927 Yankees pitching ace & HOF'er. 100% authentic autograph guaranteed to pass any 3rd party authentication process such as PSA or JSA.
Despite being a Dodgers fan, Hoyt was signed to a professional contract by New York Giants manager John McGraw when he was but 15. Because of his extreme youth, he was immediately nicknamed The Schoolboy Wonder .
After a brief stint with the Giants, McGraw sent Hoyt to the minors for refinement and experience. Hoyt soon returned to the majors, this time with the Boston Red Sox. His performance there attracted the attention of the Yankees, who acquired him in 1920. In his first season as a Yankee, he won 19 games and pitched three complete games in the World Series without allowing an earned run – over his career, he would win six Americans Leagues pennants with the Yankees and one with the PhiladelphiaAthletics. In his finest years with the Yankees, 1927 and 1928
