Orel Hershiser’s 100th Victory: A Commemorative Collection

A Milestone in Baseball History

On the memorable day of June 9, 1991, the illustrious Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher, Orel Hershiser, etched his name into the annals of baseball history by securing his 100th career victory. This remarkable achievement unfolded at the iconic Wrigley Field, where the Dodgers triumphed over the Chicago Cubs with a decisive 6-3 win. Hershiser’s performance was nothing short of stellar, as he pitched seven innings, allowing only two runs while striking out six batters. This game stands as a testament to his enduring legacy and exceptional skill on the mound.

The Commemorative Baseballs

In celebration of this historic victory, six “Rawlings” manufactured ONL White baseballs were meticulously inscribed by Hershiser himself. The south panel of each ball bears the inscription: “100TH Win – June 9, 1991 – Dodgers 6 – Cubs 3 – Wrigley Field – Chicago”, penned in blue ink by Hershiser’s own hand. Each ball is further adorned with Hershiser’s signature on the sweet spot, executed in blue ballpoint pen. In our expert opinion, these signatures range from a 7 to a 9 in overall quality, reflecting the care and precision with which they were applied.
