Max Crosses Off Another Tough 1987 Autograph

My good friend, Max, messaged me the other day asking if I had gotten Orel Hershiser for my 1987 set yet.  I hadn't, so he picked this up for me.  I was surprised.  I haven't seen any Hershiser signings as of late, so I wasn't sure how I would add this card to my set.

Hershiser (b. 1958) played in the majors from 1983 to 2000 for the Dodgers, Indians, Giants and Mets.  He had a record of 204-150 with  2,014 strike outs and a 3.48 ERA.  He had over 20 wins once (23 in 1988).  He was an All Star 3 times (1987 to 1989).  He was a Gold Glove Award winner in 1988 and a Silver Slugger in 1993.  He was the NL Cy Young Award winner in 1988.  His best MVP finish was 6th (1988).  He won the World Series with the Dodgers in 1988.  That post season, he was both the NLCS and World Series MVP.  He was also the ALCS MVP in 1995.

Hershiser appeared on the Hall of Fame ballot twice (2006 and 2007), but received at most, 11.2% of the vote.

Thank you so much, Max, for helping me add Hershiser to the set!
