Popular Yankees pitcher Ed Lopat, known as the "Junk Man," turned his lack of a fastball to his advantage by becoming an expert at slow breaking pitches. He was placed in the rotation between blazers Allie Reynolds and Vic Raschi, always keeping hitters off-guard. "Superchief" Allie Reynolds won the Hickok Belt in 1951 as the top professional athlete of the year. Reynolds has signed this toned OAL Brown ball on the sweet spot, signature is clear and grades a 9. Lopat has signed a toned ONL Feeney ball on the sweet spot, signature grades an 8. Both of these are offered here, and come with a letter from PSA/DNA.
