Herb Pennock autograph cut, with certificate of authenticity.
Pennock was the youngest player in the American League when he made his MLB debut with the Philadelphia Athletics in 1912 at 18 years old.
Pennock played sparingly in the first few years of his career, largely because of the Atheltics' star-laden teams. When Connie Mack split the dynasty up following the 1914 season, Pennock became the ace. He threw a one-hitter on Opening Day in 1915 against the eventual World Series champion Red Sox, but soon found himself shipped to Boston midway through the year.
With the Red Sox, Pennock again found himself on an older team and did not find a spot in Boston's starting rotation until after he returned from his stint with the Navy in World War I. Upon his return, Pennock went 16-8 with a 2.71 ERA in 1919 for the Red Sox.
Pennock was sold to the Yankees following the 1922 season, heralded as the final piece that would bring a World Series title to the Bronx. In his first season in New York, Pennock went 19-6, posting a league-leading .760 winning percentage, and won two games and saved another in the Fall Classic as the Yankees captured their first World Series championship. It was the start of a brilliant six-year stretch for Pennock. Please see photos for more details. Boston Massachusetts
