Greg
Maddux |
| $289 |
Longtime
Brave and Cub, and current Padre pitcher Greg Maddux is widely recognized
as one of the best pitchers in the modern era of baseball. On August
7, 2004, he recorded his 300th career win defeating the San Francisco
Giants. With that impressive milestone achievement, Greg became
just the 22nd pitcher in history to record 300 career victories
- the first since Roger Clemens did it in June 2003. Prior to Clemens,
it had been 13 years since Nolan Ryan won his 300th game, and at
the time of Greg's 300th win the next closest pitcher was his former
Braves' teammate, Tom Glavine, with 259 career victories. Greg
won four consecutive Cy Young awards from 1992-95. He also earned
Player's Choice Awards for the NL's Outstanding Pitcher in 1994,
1995 and 1998. Greg has been a model of consistency, winning at
least 15 games for 17 consecutive seasons (1988 - 2004) - a major
league record. This includes an ERA of 1.56 in 1994, unheard of
in the modern era of high-scoring baseball. Greg is also one of
the top fielding pitchers in the majors, having won 16 Gold Gloves,
tied for the most by a pitcher. A World Series winner in 1995 that
is currently leading the Padres to their strong 2007 start, Greg
hand-signed this official MLB baseball. A great gift for any fan
of great pitching.

Maddux
is the first pitcher to win 15 games in 16 consecutive
seasons, beating the great Cy Young who did it 15 straight
seasons. Only seven other pitchers in the history of
the game have managed even 10 consecutive seasons with
15 or more wins. A remarkable feat. |

During
his career with the Yankees Mickey played more games as a Yankee
than any other player (2,401), won three Most Valuable Player
awards ('56, '57 and '62), won baseball's Triple Crown in 1956
with a .353 batting average, 52 homers and 130 RBI (leading the

runs, the most ever by a switch-hitter. Mickey appeared in 12
World Series during his first 14 years with the Yankees, winning
seven World Championships. His 18 home runs, 42 runs, 40 RBI and
43 bases on balls are still World Series records. This official
MLB baseball was hand-signed right on the sweet spot by Mickey
before his death. A timeless baseball collectible from a ballplayer
for the ages.

Pedro
Martinez |
| $259
|
Former
Red Sox and current Mets Pitcher Pedro Martinez was a great hurler
for the BoSox for many years. But what he'll most be remembered
for is his start in Game 3 of the 2004 World Series. Pedro shut
down St. Louis leading the way to the Sox first World Series victory
in 86 years. Goodbye
Curse
of the Bambino. Pedro is a three-time Cy Young Award
winner, a Players' Coach Award Winner for overall Player of the
Year (1999) and four-time Players' Choice Award winner for Outstanding
Pitcher in his league (1997, 1998, 1999, 2000). In 1999, his best
all-around year, he was the runner-up in the MVP voting to Ivan
Rodriguez after he went 23-4 with a minuscule 2.07 ERA. Pedro
won 20 games for the second time in his career in 2002 and was the
Cy Young Award runner-up to Barry Zito. One of the most feared pitchers
in baseball, Pedro has led his league in ERA four times and is the
active leader in that department with a career mark of 2.62 prior
to the 2004 season. He has led his league in strikeouts three times
and has earned All-Star status six times, including 1999, when he
captured All-Star Game MVP honors in a game played at his home stadium
of Fenway Park. This pitching ace is one of the best in baseball
and a critical part of the Sox '04 success.

Eddie

A
feared left-handed slugger, Eddie Mathews became the seventh player
in major league history to hit 500 home runs, finishing his career
with 512. He walloped more than 30 roundtrippers nine years in
a row. In 1953, his 47 homers for the Milwaukee Braves led the
National League and established a single-season record for third
basemen (since broken by Mike
Schmidt). In an intriguing footnote to his career,
Mathews was the only man to play for the Boston Braves, Milwaukee
Braves, and Atlanta Braves. Eddie hand-signed this official MLB
baseball right on the sweet spot. A great gift for any baseball
fan.

Matsui |
| $249 |

A
three-time Central League Most Valuable Player and home run champion
while playing in his native Japan, Hideki found immediate success
in his first season in the United States in 2003. Hideki's 106
RBI led American League rookies and were the most by a New York
Yankees rookie since Joe DiMaggio in 1936. After making the All-Star
Game in his first season, Hideki finished with 16 home runs, 106
RBI and a .287 average while appearing in all 163 games for the
Yankees. In his second season, Matsui finished with a .298 average
with 31 home runs and 108 RBIs. In 2005 he did even better, hitting
a career high .305 with 116 RBIs. On May 6, 2007 Matsui recorded
his 2,000th hit in combined hits in Japan and the United States
during a game vs. the Mariners, which earned him a place in Japan's
Golden Players Club, reserved for players who have hit 2000 hits,
200 wins or 250 saves professionally. An important part of the
Yankees since his arrival, Matsui has quickly become one of the
more popular athletes in New York City. Matsui signed the sweet
spot of this official MLB - a great gift for any Yankee fan.

Mays, the "Say Hey Kid," played with enthusiasm and exuberance
while excelling in all phases of the game hitting for average
and power, fielding, throwing and baserunning. His staggering career
statistics include 3,283 hits and 660 home runs. The Giants' superstar
earned National League Rookie of the Year honors in 1951 and two
MVP awards. He accumulated 12 Gold Gloves, played in a record-tying
24 All-Star Games and participated in four World Series. His catch
of Vic Wertz' drive (simply called The
Catch by baseball historians) in the 1954 Series remains
one of Baseball's most memorable moments.

beat opposing teams with his multifaceted skills. A two-time National
League MVP (1975 and 1976) and nine-time All-Star, he was a terror

449 doubles and 268 home runs. A member of the Astros, Giants,
Phillies and A's during his career, his most productive years
were playing for the Cincinnati Reds from 1972 - 1979. Part of

Joe, Johnny Bench, Tony Perez and Pete Rose, among others, Joe
helped the Reds win back to back World Series in 1975 and '76.

Justin Ernest
George Morneau (born on May 15, 1981 in New Westminster, British
Columbia) plays First Base for the Minnesota Twins. He was selected
by Minnesota in the 3rd round as the 89th overall pick of the
1999 MLB amateur entry draft and, after several years in the Minors,
began playing regularly for the Twins in 2006. After a slow start
that season, Morneau exploded offensively in the months of June,
July, and August, raising his batting average nearly 50 points
in June alone. He raised his average another 33 points in July
and thereafter consistently appeared near the top of the American
League leaderboard in batting average, home runs and RBI's. On
August 9, 2006, Morneau became the first Twin since 1987 to hit
30 home runs in a single season. Morneau finished the season hitting
.321, with a slugging percentage of .559, 34 home runs and 131
RBI's. He won the 2006 Silver Slugger Award for First Base. On
November
21, Morneau was voted as the 2006 American League MVP, narrowly
edging Derek Jeter of the Yankees. In so doing, Justin became
only the fourth player in Twins history to win MVP honors and
the first Canadian player to do so (Larry Walker won the NL MVP
Award in 1997). A great import from North of the Border, Justin
is just getting started. Get this official MLB, hand-signed by
Morneau right on the sweet spot, before it goes up in value.

| $159 |

Former Oakland
A's and current St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Mark Mulder followed
up his breakthrough 21-8 season in 2001 with an equally fine 19-7
record in 2002. Just how impressive that 2002 mark is cannot be
seen on the surface. Mulder spent a month on the disabled list
with a sore left forearm, and he ended up making four fewer starts
than he did in 2001. It mattered little to opposing hitters, however,
who saw the same stellar stuff. And in 2003 and 2004, Mark was
selected to the American League All-Star team, picked as the starter
for the 75th All-Star game in 2004. Now throwing his stellar stuff
for the St. Louis Cardinals, Mulder is a stud and together with
A's hurlers Tim
Hudson and Barry
Zito, once was part of the best young pitching rotation
in baseball. Expect his career to take off in St. Louis where
more baseball fans will see just how special a pitcher Mark has
become. His collectibles, including this hand-signed MLB ball,
will only go up in value in the next few years.

After 22 years
as a St. Louis Cardinal, Stan Musial ranked at or near the top
of Baseball's all-time lists in almost every batting category.
The dead-armed Class C pitcher became a slugging outfielder who
topped the .300 mark 17 times and won seven National League batting
titles with his famed corkscrew stance and ringing line drives.
A three-time MVP, he played in 24 All-Star Games. He was nicknamed
"The Man" by Dodgers fans for the havoc he wrought at
Ebbets Field, and is still renowned for his skilled harmonica
playing. Musial was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1969.

During

the National League in wins and propelled Atlanta to the National
League West title in 1969, when he recorded 23 victories, 21 complete
games and a 2.57 ERA. A five-time All-Star, he no-hit the Padres
