Historical Context:
Ted Lyons (1900–1986) spent his entire 21-year Major League career with the Chicago White Sox, compiling a record of 260–230 with a career ERA of 3.67. Known for his durability and pinpoint control, Lyons led the league in wins in 1925 and ERA in 1942. He pitched a no-hitter in 1926 and became famous for pitching exclusively on Sundays later in his career, earning him the nickname “Sunday Teddy.” After retiring as a player, Lyons served as a manager and remained a beloved ambassador of the game. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1955. Autographs of Lyons on Hall of Fame plaque cuts—especially graded examples—are highly sought after.
