Brian McRae Signed Baseball Royals – COA

Description

Presented is an ONL (Budig) baseball autographed by Brian McRae.  He signed it on the sweet spot in blue ballpoint pen (“8”).  The ball itself shows toning from age.

Brian McRae was only the fourth occurrence of a major league manager managing his own son. McRae was a switch hitter and threw right-handed. His batting average was 38 points higher from the right side with a slugging average 24 points higher but his on-base percentage was only seven points higher. McRae was a leadoff batter far more often (47%) than any other position in the lineup (second most was 22% batting second). He had a good history of injury avoidance, playing 150 or more games in five different seasons. The only seasons he did not play at least 130 games were his rookie season and the strike-shortened 1994 season when he finished second in the National League in games played. McRae never played in the playoffs, enduring a few near misses
