Mickey Lolich

 

Mickey Lolich won 217 regular season games during his 16 MLB seasons.  A three-time All-Star, he was named MVP of the 1968 World Series, in which he led the Tigers to victory by winning three games and blasting a home run.  He signed his 1964 Topps Rookie Card for $20.  It may sound a bit steep for someone who isn't in the Hall of Fame, but there's a case to made that he belongs there, and he donates the money to charity.  Thanks, Mickey!
