Framed Autographed/Signed Jim Bunning 35x39 Detroit Grey Baseball Jersey JSA COA

⚾ Vintage Jim Bunning Framed Autographed Detroit Tigers Grey Baseball Jersey JSA COA — Hall of Famer, Pitcher of a Perfect Game, One of Only Two Pitchers in History to Win 100 Games and Strike Out 1,000 Batters in Both the American and National Leagues

⚾ Jim Bunning accomplished something in his professional baseball career that only one other pitcher in the history of Major League Baseball had done before him: he won at least 100 games and struck out at least 1,000 batters in both the American League and the National League, joining Hall of Famer Cy Young as the only pitchers to do it. The complete statistical command of both leagues — not one circuit or the other, but both — required a career of extraordinary length, exceptional effectiveness, and the ability to adapt and succeed against batters from two distinct hitting cultures across multiple decades. Bunning delivered all of it, and this framed autographed Detroit Tigers grey baseball jersey, authenticated by JSA, is the collectible that represents the first chapter of that historic career. Condition: NOS.

⚪ The Detroit Grey — The Tigers Road Uniform From Baseball's Power Era

⚪ The Detroit Tigers road grey jersey with the "Detroit" script across the chest is one of the most historically consistent visual elements in the sport — a uniform that has carried the franchise's identity on the road for generations and that has been worn by some of the most significant players and pitchers in the history of the American League. Jim Bunning wore that grey in every AL city from his arrival in Detroit in 1955 through his trade to the Philadelphia Phillies in 1963 — eight seasons in which he established himself as one of the premier pitchers in the league, including a no-hitter against the Boston Red Sox in 1958. Condition: NOS.

⚾ The Perfect Game — Father's Day 1964

⚾ On June 21, 1964 — Father's Day — Jim Bunning walked to the mound at Shea Stadium for the Philadelphia Phillies and retired all 27 New York Mets batters he faced, throwing the seventh perfect game in Major League history and the first perfect game pitched in the National League since two were thrown in the league's inaugural decades back in 1880. It was also the first regular-season perfect game in the majors since Charlie Robertson's in 1922. The setting added an element of narrative symmetry that the press of the era recognized immediately: Bunning was the father of nine children, and he achieved baseball's most difficult individual pitching accomplishment on the day set aside to recognize fathers. The Tigers grey represents the career that built toward that Phillies-era pinnacle. Condition: NOS.

🏛️ From the Mound to the Senate — The Complete Jim Bunning Story

🏛️ Jim Bunning's career extended beyond baseball into political life — he served in the United States House of Representatives from Kentucky beginning in 1987 and then in the United States Senate from 1999 to 2011. His public service career, combined with his Hall of Fame baseball accomplishments, made him one of a very small number of Americans who achieved genuine distinction in two completely different fields. The Tigers grey jersey is a piece of the baseball chapter of that remarkable life. Condition: NOS.
