ORIGINAL 1980 VINTAGE 19"x25" POSTER IN FULL COLOR, FRESH OUT OF STORAGE IN MINT CONDITION.

SUBJECT: HOWARD "BRUCE" SUTTER, FIRST PITCHER IN THE MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL HALL OF FAME NEVER TO HAVE STARTED A GAME IN THE MAJORS. BRUCE WAS BORN IN LANCASTER PENNSYLVANIA AND RAISED IN MY HOME TOWN OF MOUNT JOY. IN FACT, I GRADUATED WITH BRUCE FROM DONEGAL HIGH SCHOOL AND PLAYED MY HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL WITH HIM - GO DONEGAL!! I CAN PERSONALLY ATTEST TO BRUCE'S INTENSITY ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD, BUT HIS RESUME AS A BASEBALL PLAYER IS WHAT EARNED HIM HIS FAME. NEVER A DARLING OF THE SPORTS MEDIA - BUT ONLY BECAUSE BRUCE DID NOT RELISH THE LIMELIGHT - HE TRULY JUST LOVED THE COMPETITION. BRUCE STARRED FOR THE CHICAGO CUBS AND PERFECTED HIS PRIMARY WEAPON, THE SPLIT-FINGERED FASTBALL, IN THEIR FARM SYSTEM AT MIDLAND TEXAS. HE PITCHED IN FOUR ALL-STAR GAMES, EARNING TWO WINS AND TWO SAVES, AND HELPED THE SAINT LOUIS CARDINALS TO THEIR 1982 WORLD SERIES WIN. BRUCE EARNED MANY AWARDS FOR HIS SKILL AT MOWING DOWN BIG LEAGUE HITTERS, INCLUDING FIREMAN OF THE YEAR, RELIEF MAN OF THE  YEAR, BABE RUTH AWARD, AND THE COVETED CY YOUNG AWARD AS THE NATIONAL LEAGUE'S BEST PITCHER IN 1979. AT ONE TIME, BRUCE WAS THE HIGHEST PAID PLAYER IN BASEBALL. OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH HIS FAMILY IN KENNESAW GEORGIA, WHERE BRUCE SETTLED AFTER ENDING HIS PITCHING DAYS WITH THE ATLANTA BRAVES. THIS ORIGINAL POSTER IS DIFFICULT TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION.
