Mike Witt Autographed 1983 Topps #53 California Angels Card

Featuring Mike Witt with the California Angels, this Mike Witt autographed 1983 Topps #53 California Angels card represents the right-handed pitcher early in a career that would include two All-Star selections and one of the most memorable pitching performances in Angels history.

Witt reached the Major Leagues with California in 1981 at just 20 years old and quickly became a regular member of the Angels rotation. By 1982, he was part of a California club that won the American League West and advanced to the ALCS against the Milwaukee Brewers.

Witt made baseball history on September 30, 1984, when he pitched a perfect game against the Texas Rangers in the final game of the regular season. He retired all 27 batters he faced and struck out 10 in the Angels' 1-0 victory. It was the 11th perfect game in Major League history.

His finest overall season came in 1986, when Witt went 18-10 with a 2.84 ERA, 208 strikeouts, 14 complete games and 269 innings pitched. He earned his first American League All-Star selection and helped the Angels capture another AL West championship. Witt returned to the All-Star Game in 1987.

Witt pitched 12 Major League seasons with the Angels and New York Yankees, finishing with 117 victories, 1,373 strikeouts and 72 complete games. The 1983 Topps #53 is an appealing early-career card for Angels collectors, Mike Witt fans, perfect-game collections, vintage Topps collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
