Samuel Edward Thomas McDowell (born September 21, 1942 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania), is an American former professional baseball player. He played in Major League Baseball as a starting pitcher from 1961 to 1975, most notably for the Cleveland Indians. A six-time All-Star, McDowell led the American League in strikeouts five times. Tall (6 feet, 5 inches) and powerful, his left-handed fastball was delivered with an unusually calm pitching motion which led to his memorable nickname, Sudden Sam.
McDowell finished with 2,453 career strikeouts and an average of 8.86 strikeouts per nine innings pitched, ranking him ninth all-time as of 2011. At the time of his retirement, his strikeout rate was bested by only two pitchers: Nolan Ryan and Sandy Koufax. His ratio of 7.03 hits allowed per nine innings also places him ninth all-time as of 2011. He ranks eighth all time on the list of career ten or more strikeout games with 74, tied with Bob Gibson. His 2,159 strikeouts as an Indian place him second all time on the team's career list, behind Bob Feller. In four All-Star appearances, McDowell struck out twelve NL All-Stars over eight innings, and was the losing pitcher (in relief) in the 1965 game.
THIS ART PRINT WAS PRODUCED FOR SAM McDOWELL, 1998 HONARY CHAIRMAN, AND THE "CHILDREN'S CIRCLE OF FRIENDS FOUNDATION." IT WAS SIGNED IN PERSON BY HIM AND IT COMES WITH A CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY AND A LIFETIME GUARANTEE AS BEING AUTHENTIC.
About Us
We have been in the autograph and memorabilia business for over 35 years. All of our autographs were acquired in person. To guarantee that our items were authentically obtained, we have done work for or attended over three hundred charity-celebrity golf outings in the last ten years We have booked numerous sports stars to signings. Our inventory numbers several thousands of items.  We have earned a great reputation through the high quality products that we offer for sale.
In 1993 we were approached by Heisman trophy winner, Vic Janowicz to produce an art print for him to be used for charity functions. It was because of Vic's first print that we began to commission artists to create high quality action prints of other famous athletes. The majority of the pieces that were produced by our company are signed and numbered by the artist and then authentically autographed by the athlete or athletes. All of our items come with a certificate of authenticity providing you with a guarantee without time limit.
Unlike most "limited edition prints" where the number of prints made is usually between 500 to 2000, most of our prints were produced in smaller quantities. Our average print run on each lithograph is normally under 150 with some of our runs are
as low as 60
. Our small production runs have caused the value of some of our prints to soar in value to over ten times their original retail sale price. Some of our "sold out" prints, which originally retailed for forty dollars, have been sold for as high as six hundred dollars.
We produce a small production run of each limited edition print, so that your purchase becomes a collectors item, as well as an attractive addition to your home or office.
Even though we offer memorabilia for all sports, this site mainly displays Ohio State and Cleveland Browns memorabilia. As a company, we have produced more approved art prints for Ohio State than all the other artists combined in the history of the school. If you would like information on memorabilia that we have for other teams or sports, please email us. We welcome any more questions that you might have about our items or our company.
PLEASE NOTE: WE ONLY OFFER COA's FOR OUR PERSONALLY PRODUCED ART PRINTS.
