This extraordinary accomplishment, last achieved by the legendary Denny McLain in 1968, remains a testament to the pinnacle of pitching prowess. McLain’s 31-win season with the Detroit Tigers is etched in the history books, and the memorabilia associated with this milestone continues to captivate collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Exclusive Memorabilia Collection
