Signed baseball by Wilbur Wood, Pitcher for the Red Sox.

They may not have won the World Series this year (sometimes you have to let the other guys win, just to keep things interesting), but the Boston Red Sox still boast one of the most fanatical fan bases in the world.

This baseball, signed by pitcher, Wilbur Wood, will make an excellent addition to any New England sports fan's memorabilia collection!

Wilbur Forrester Wood, Jr. (born October 22, 1941 in Cambridge, Massachusetts) is a former knuckleball pitcher in Major League Baseball for the Boston Red Sox, Pittsburgh Pirates, and most notably the Chicago White Sox, where he got 163 of his 164 wins. He threw left-handed, and batted right-handed.

In 1960, Wood was signed out of Belmont, Massachusetts high school by the Red Sox. He pitched on-and-off for them for a few seasons before being traded to the Pirates in late September 1964. . He retired in 1978, moving back to his native New England.
