Up for auction is an official Rawlings Major League Baseball hand-signed by Elmer Dessens, veteran pitcher and former #45 for teams like the New York Mets, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Cincinnati Reds. Dessens was known for his consistency and longevity, pitching in over 400 MLB games from 1996 to 2010. This autographed ball includes his jersey number #45 and features a clean, bold signature—an excellent collectible for fans of early 2000s baseball and reliable pitching arms. Elmer Dessens carved out a solid MLB career spanning 14 seasons, playing a key role both as a starter and reliever. Though not a headline-grabber, his durability, control, and workhorse mentality earned him respect across the league. Wearing #45 during his time with teams like the Mets and Dodgers, Dessens quietly contributed to several competitive rosters. Signed memorabilia from him is less common, making this a standout piece for collectors of unsung heroes and niche players from baseball's modern era.
