Darrell Sutherland was claimed off waivers from the Phillies on April 6th, 1964. He was pressed into action immediately, posting a 7.76 ERA in his rookie season. Sutherland rebounded in his sophomore season of '65, dropping his ERA to 2.81 in 41 innings pitched. This would turn out to be the best season of Darrell's career. A mediocre '66 season left Sutherland exposed to the 1967 minor league draft and the Indians pounced. He pitched only 3.1 innings for the Indians before hanging it up soon after the 1968 season. In three seasons from 1964 to 1966, Sutherland tuned in a 4.69 ERA with the Mets.
This Father's day baseball was signed by Mr. Sutherland after being mailed to his home in March of 2018.
