Item Description
You are bidding on a baseball signed by Boston Red Sox pitcher Bill Moubouquette.
Bill Monbouquette, born August 11, 1936, is a Major League Baseball right-handed pitcher. He played for the Boston Red Sox, Detroit Tigers (1966–1967), New York Yankees (1967–1968), and the San Francisco Giants (1968). During an 11-year career, Monbouquette compiled 114 wins, 1,122 strikeouts, and a 3.68 earned run average.
A finesse pitcher who relied on changing speeds and a superb control, Monbouquette was signed by the Boston Red Sox as an amateur free agent in 1955 and started his majors career on July 18, 1958. He became the ace of a weak Boston pitching rotation in the early 1960s, winning at least 14 games from 1960–63, with a career-high 20 victories in 1963. A four-time All-Star, he pitched a no-hitter in 1962 against the Chicago White Sox; collected three one-hit games, and set a club record with a 17 strikeout-game against the Washington Senators in 1961.
After going 96-91 with Boston, Monbouquette was sent to the Detroit Tigers before the 1966 season. He also pitched for the Yankees and finished his career with the Giants on September 3, 1968.
