Lot Essay

To state that anyone expected to witness a perfect game by Yankees pitcher David Wells on May 17, 1998 would almost certainly be fictional. However, that is precisely what "Boomer" ended up giving the Yankees fans hurling a perfectly game against the Minnesota Twins at Yankee Stadium. Official Gene Budig American League baseball showing evident game use throughout signed across the sweet spot, "David Wells 0-0-0 5/17/98". Signature and inscription rate 7/8 out of 10. Includes full LOA from JSA (autograph and inscription): Ball: VG-EX, Signature: NM
