Joining Paul Molitor as this year's two inductees into the Hall of Fame, pitcher Dennis Eckersley amassed 290 saves during a stellar career that took him from Cleveland to Boston to Oakland. Having been Rookie of the Year with the Indians in 1975, his fastball began to fade by the mid-1980s and he eventually made his way to the A's in 1987, where with the help of Tony Larusa he came into his own as a reliever and dominated the American League for years. This six-time All-Star won both the Cy Young and the MVP in 1992. We offer his 1980-1984 Uniform Player's Contract with the Red Sox, signed twice by him and also by then AL President Lee MacPhail. The three-panel fold-out contract has a small tear on the front panel and a 7" fold separation but is intact. The signature rates an 8 and comes with a letter from PSA/DNA.
