Philip Henry Niekro, nicknamed "Knucksie", was an American baseball pitcher who played 24 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Milwaukee/Atlanta Braves, Cleveland Indians, New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays. Niekro is generally regarded as the greatest knuckleball pitcher of all time. Some career highlights include being a five time All-Star, a five time Gold Glove Award winner and pitched a no-hitter on 8/5/73. Phil Niekro was inducted into the National Baseball Hall Of Fame in 1997. The autograph on the card is very strong and well placed without impeding the image. This signed copy is one of only three examples graded by PSA as well as being the highest graded.
