Erskine won a career high 20 games in 1953 and set a World Series record that season with 14 strikeouts. Erskine won a World Series in 1955 and was an All-Star selection in 1954. During his career with the Dodgers, Erskine was part of winning 5 NL pennants and played alongside other legends like Duke Snider, Roy Campanella, Gil Hodges, Pee Wee Reese and Jackie Robinson.

A total of 7 no-hitters were pitched across the major leagues in the decade of the 1950s and Erskine pitched two of them. Erskine pitched one against the Chicago Cubs in 1952 and one against the New York Giants in 1956.

Doesn't he sign through the mail for free?

Doesn't he sign through the mail for free?

Yes, at a 97% success rate, and adds whatever inscriptions you ask. He also sends an extra signed card of his own. But, maybe people who don't like sending requests TTM might want to go with the private signing route.

also some items people are not comfortable sending ttm

Doesn't he sign through the mail for free?

I am glad you asked that question. I was going to...but I thought better of it since I would be accused of "hijacking a paid private signing thread".

To answer your question, YES, he signs for free. Let's hope he will continue to do so after this thing goes down....

Everyone should not fear for now that Mr. Erskine will quit signing TTM. He plans to continue to sign TTM, however he is hoping to have a signing every once in a while to help raise money for Special Olympics and other charities he supports. I offered to do the signing in an effort to help him raise those funds. We are doing the signing at cost, which is why everything is priced so affordably.

I assumed that there would be some interest for those who are concerned about sending things TTM. This would be a great chance to get balls or other equipment items signed without the risk. Hopefully others will still consider the signing after the TTM messages were posted. Thanks.

Let me know if you have problems locating cards. I may be able to help. Looking forward to your participation.

If you can't find cards I'd recommend a ball - I believe your own ball is $10 from the above pricing. He gives a nice graph - I got him at Vero one year. I'm very stingy when it comes to getting someone to sign a ball, but IMO he's worth it - you could argue he should be in the Hall.

I would certainly agree that if he didn't leave the game because of a should injury I think he would definitely be in the Hall. He was very prolific when healthy just didn't have a lengthy enough career. You can tell he's a legend since Brooklyn named a street after him.

His signature is great and he has lot's of potential for inscriptions with his no-hitters, WS champ, nickname, etc. He's a great guy, too. That is why I am doing the signing with him regardless of his TTM stats. I think people will want to support him and he is truly a class act.
