After 4 productive seasons in Oakland right-handed pitcher Joe Blanton was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies in 2008 just in time to solidify their rotation down the stretch run. The move paid off. Blanton went 4-0 during the regular season and 2-0 in the post season helping the Phillies capture their first World Series Title since 1980.brbrAn MLB baseball hand signed on the sweet spot is perhaps the most coveted collectible in the industry. It is the foundation of sports collectibles and remains the most popular way to celebrate a players career. This MLB baseball is hand signed by Blanton on the sweet spot in blue ink. It comes complete with a Steiner Sports Certificate of Authenticity.
