The Kansas City Royals were down 3-1 in games when the improbable turned and they won three straight, including a decisive Game 7 in which a 21-year-old named Bret Saberhagen took the ball, completed the game, threw a 11-0 shutout, and was named World Series MVP. The youngest pitcher to win a World Series MVP at that time had just posted a 20-6 regular season with a 2.87 ERA on the way to his first Cy Young Award, and the postseason performance added the championship layer to what the regular season had already built. This hand-signed Kansas City dark blue road jersey, authenticated by James Spence Authentication (JSA), is signed by the man at the center of the Royals' last championship moment. Condition: NOS.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e⚾ Saberhagen added a second Cy Young Award in 1989, going 23-6 with a 2.16 ERA in what became one of the finest individual pitching seasons the American League produced in the second half of that decade. The pattern of his peaks – the 1985 championship season, the 1987 off year, the 1989 Cy Young, the 1990 off year, back and forth in a rhythm that became one of the more discussed individual quirks in baseball – did not diminish the quality of those peak seasons, which placed him among the most dominant pitchers in the game when he was operating at his best. The Kansas City dark blue uniform carries the specific visual identity of the road-traveling Royals teams of that era, the powder blue later replaced by the royal blue that became the franchise's signature color. Condition: NOS.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e⚾ JSA (James Spence Authentication) is one of the most recognized autograph certification organizations in the sports memorabilia industry.
