Dazzy Vance is a Hall of Fame right-hander who had a lifetime MLB record of 197-140, with an MLB career 3.24 ERA, an amazing record since he only won 33 games before the age of 30. Offered is a Dazzy Vance signed original photo. Vance pitched briefly for the Pittsburgh Pirates and New York Yankees in 1915, and for the Yankees again in 1918. He also played for the Brooklyn Robins/Dodgers (1922-32), St. Louis Cardinals (1933), Cincinnati Reds (1934), St. Louis Cardinals (1934), and Brooklyn Dodgers (1935). After his brief MLB appearances in 1915 and 1918, Vance had to overcome an arm injury and long, minor league stints in order to return to the Major Leagues with Brooklyn in 1922. He had an outstanding fastball, one which helped him to lead the NL in strikeouts for seven consecutive years - still a record. With Brooklyn in '24, he won the pitching Triple Crown, and he was the NL MVP. As a Brooklyn hurler, he pitched a no-hitter against the Cubs in 1925. He led the NL in ERA 3-times, and in wins 2-times. He was a World Champion with the '34 Cincinnati Reds. Vance was involved in one of the most famous gaffes in MLB history, on Aug. 15, 1926, when the Boston Braves were playing the Dodgers in the first game of a double-header at Ebbets Field, when Brooklyn wound up with three baserunners on third base at the same time. With Brooklyn at bat in the seventh inning and the bases loaded, Vance on second and Chick Fewster on first, Babe Herman hit a long ball that fell safely in the outfield. The runner on third scored. With Herman running with his head down, the Brooklyn third base coach yelled to Herman, "back." Vance, who had rounded third base, thought the instruction was for him, and he ran back to third. Fewster was already there, and in a flash so was Herman, who thought the third base coach's instruction to go back was for Vance. Herman and Fewster were tagged out, and the incident became infamous, since Herman had doubled into a double play. Vance is a tough signature to obtain on a signed photo.
