Perfect Game Inscribed Single Signed Baseball Lot of 5 with Barker, Browning, Bunning, Haddix, & Rogers. Offered are the following single signed baseballs, which represent signatures of four of the twenty-three men to ever throw a Perfect Game at the major league level, and one who came excruciatingly close while going above and beyond:

Len Barker - The 10th Perfect Game in MLB history was tossed against the Toronto Blue Jays by the Indians' righty who never reached a three-ball count in the game. Barker signed this OML (Selig) ball in blue ball point ink and inscribed the date, "Perfect Game 5-15-81".

Tom Browning - Needing only 100 pitches to throw the 12th Perfect Game in MLB history, Browning shut down the Dodgers and became the first lefty since Koufax to throw a perfecto. Signed in blue ballpoint ink on the sweetspot of a light-to-moderately toned ONL (Coleman) baseball and added the inscription "Perfect Game 9-16-88".

Jim Bunning (HOF) - The first regular season Perfect Game, and 7th in MLB history, since Charlie Robertson's in 1922 - Bunning only needed 90 tosses, and struck out ten on Father's day with his daughter in the stands. He penned this lightly toned OAL (Budig) baseball in blue ballpoint ink and added the inscription "Perfect Game 6-21-64".

Harvey Haddix - In what could be considered the greatest game ever pitched the Pittsburgh retired 36 consecutive batters, or what amounted to 1 1/3 Perfect Games, but came away with the loss after he and his defense faltered in the 13th inning. The powers that be removed Haddix's no-hit designation in 1991 but history will still remember his efforts. Signed in black ballpoint ink upon the sweet spot of this lightly toned ONL (Giamatti) baseball, the infamous hurler also added the inscriptions "Perfect Game May 26, 1959 Pittsburgh 0 - Milwaukee 1 Hit in 13th inning".

Kenny Rogers - The 14th Perfecto in history, the Angels were blanked by the fiery Rangers lefty. Rogers signed this OML (Selig) baseball in blue ballpoint ink and inscribed "7-28-94", slight smudging of the ink present throughout.
