During a stellar 24-year career Phil Niekro relied on a fluttering knuckleball to frustrate his opponents. His lifetime record of 318-274 demonstrated his longevity. Knucksie twice led the National League in wins and propelled Atlanta to the National League West title in 1969 when he recorded 23 victories 21 complete games and a 2.57 ERA. A five-time All-Star he no-hit the Padres on August 5 1973 and was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1997. Niekro has hand signed this 16x20 Atlanta Braves photograph and added the inscription of his 8-5-73 No Hitter along with the stats of every batter he faced that day. A Steiner Sports Certificate of Authenticity is included
