Nicknamed "Black Jack" by his teammates because of his dark beard, McDowell was a 6-foot-5, 188-pound right-handed pitcher for the Stanford team that won the 1987 College World Series. He then signed with the Chicago White Sox, who had chosen him in the * first round of the amateur draft. By the early 1990s, he had established himself as one of the most dependable pitchers in the game, pitching effectively and recording over 250 innings each season from 1991 to 1993. Jack won 20 games in 1992 and 22 in 1993, * when he won the American League Cy Young Award and led the White Sox to the postseason. From 1988 until 1995, his season ERA was consistently between 3.00 and 4.00, well below the league average. In 1993, he set a modern (post-1950) record by recording a decision * in each of his first 27 starts. The ball is in very good condition with some smudge marks throughout and Jack signed it in blue pen. * *
