Waite Charles Hoyt
(September 9, 1899 – August 25, 1984) was an American right-handed
pitcher
in
Major League Baseball
, one of the dominant pitchers of the 1920s, and the most successful pitcher for the
New York Yankees
during that decade. He was inducted into the
Baseball Hall of Fame
in
1969
.
Despite being a
Dodgers
fan, he was signed to a professional contract by
New York Giants
manager
John McGraw
when he was but 15. Because of his extreme youth, he was immediately
nicknamed
"The Schoolboy Wonder".

After a brief stint with the Giants, McGraw sent Hoyt to the minors for refinement and experience. Hoyt soon returned to the majors, this time with the
Boston Red Sox
. His performance there attracted the attention of the Yankees, who acquired him in
1920
. In his first season as a Yankee, he won 19 games and pitched three complete games in the
World Series
without allowing an
earned run
— over his career, he would win six
American League
pennants with the Yankees and one with the
Philadelphia Athletics
. In his finest years with the Yankees,
1927
and
1928
, Hoyt would post records of 22
wins
and 7
losses
with a 2.64
ERA
and 23 wins and 7 losses with a 3.36 ERA. During his 21-year career, he won 10 or more games 12 times, 11 of them consecutively. Hoyt pitched for eight years after leaving the Yankees in
1930
, but did not consistently display similar levels of pitching dominance.
Hoyt finished his career with a win-loss record of 237–182 and an ERA of 3.59. By the time he retired in
1938
, he had pitched the most victories in World Series history (his World Series record with the Yankees and A's was 6–4).
Hoyt had a total of 36 Major League teammates who would later be elected to the Hall of Fame. As of 2009, no other Hall of Famer has had more Hall of Fame teammates.

Shipping and Packaging details: I ship everything with cardboard backing. Additionally, I slip all autographed photos inside sturdy photo-protective sleeves. Payment details: Typically, I ship paypal payments right away. PAYPAL is recommended. International shipping will be higher as all international orders go through the Global Shipping program.  How I obtained my autographs, and why I promise a FULL MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE: As a kid, from roughly the years 1965 to 1973, and later from 1974-the present, I have amassed an enormous collection of autographed sports and celebrity memorabilia. In most cases, using Jack Smalling's baseball address lists and other assorted address lists, I wrote to both active and retired baseball players, sending them letters, requests for signatures, and self-addressed-stamped envelopes. This is how I obtained thousands of autographs. I also obtained many autographs in person at area parks and hotels.In the 1980's and 1990's, I travelled the country doing shows (20 National Conventions) and would buy quantities of autographs through player signings. I have every reason to believe that all of the autographs I'm selling are absolutely authentic. I stand by every item I sell. Upon purchasing an item from me through eBay, you may return that item, in the condition in which I shipped it to you, within 14 days of receipt of that item if you are not satisfied with the item.   I am selling each item "as is", per the guarantee I've promised above. All the old time autograph dealers know me and the professional authenticators will vouch for my reputation as well. I do this on a part time basis, so sometimes emails take a day. I have worked hard for my feedback rating. The last thing I want to do is damage my credibility, so if you have legitimate concerns about any item you win from me on eBay, I'll make every effort to remedy the situation to your satisfaction. PLEASE NOTE: Most items come with certificates of authenticity from outside companies (JSA and PSA predominantly; they are the best). I have spent lots of money with third party authenticators and have had very few come back without passing. Sincerely, Joe Binder , Downers Grove, Illinois
