It was a career worthy of a Hollywood script - of the lowest lows and the highest highs; of dramatic victories and crushing defeats; of trades and pay cuts; then, ultimate redemption and the Hall of Fame! After five years of little but greatness at the start of his career (a 200-strikeout season, a 1977 no-hitter with the Cleveland Indians, and 20 wins with the 1978 Boston Red Sox), Eckersley's career went into the abyss, and was all but finished when the Chicago Cubs dumped his contract on the Oakland A's at the end of Spring Training in 1987. Then, after a hot start as a middle reliever and spot starter, Tony LaRussa handed him the closer's role in June, and the rest is history! After retiring with 197 Wins, 390 Saves, an MVP award (1992) and a World Series Championship (1989), Eckersley joined baseball's all-time elite in the Hall of Fame in 2004, his first year of eligibility.

Available in poster size exclusively from SportsPosterWarehouse.com, this amazing print features great action shots of Eck from throughout his career, including his early days with the Cleveland Indians (check out that uniform!); his mid-1980s days with the Chicago Cubs; his glorious Oakland A's era; and late-career stints with the St. Louis Cardinals and Boston Red Sox. Also printed at top are five major career accomplishments: his no-hitter; his MVP award; his All-Star appearances; his Cy Young award; and his World Series Championship. From Photofile's incredible Legends series, this stunning print is the perfect way to commemorate one of baseball's all-time greatest pitchers. Perfect for the wall of any true fan!
