Bill Hepler was drafted from the Senators on November 29th in the 1965 Rule V draft. In 1966, at the age of 20, Hepler made his major league debut. He went 3-3 that season with a 3.52 ERA. The problem was that he walked 51 batters in 61 innings. Hepler began the '67 season in the minors and never made it back to the big leagues. He retired in 1970 after 4 seasons in the minors.
This ball was signed through the mail after being sent to Mr. Hepler's home. He said the highlight of his career was striking out Hank Aaron two times in one game.
