TED LYONS. Signature: "Ted Lyons", 5x3 printed card. "Theodore A. Lyons/Chicago A. L. 1923-1946/Hall of Fame 1955". Twenty-one seasons of yeoman work for the seldom-contending White Sox earned Lyons his 1955 election to the Hall of Fame. His most important weapon was excellent control. Never a strikeout pitcher, he walked only 1,121 batters in 4,161 innings pitched over his career, and at one point in 1939 he hurled 42 consecutive innings without issuing a base on balls. In 1939, White Sox Manager Jimmie Dykes began pitching him once a week, always on Sunday, to save his arm and to take advantage of Lyons' tremendous popularity to draw large crowds. The Sunday-only pattern continued through 1942, with Lyons's .634 winning percentage (52-30) the best for any four-year section of his career. In 1942, he led the AL in ERA (2.10) while completing all 20 of his starts and winning 14. Pinhead sized spot to right of printed caption. Fine condition.
