1933 Goudey Fred Fitzsimmons #130 PSA 2 MK (Autograph Grade 7) - One of Only 15 PSA Graded Examples - d. 1979. Frederick Landis Fitzsimmons (July 28, 1901 – November 18, 1979) was a right-handed pitcher, manager, and coach, who played in MLB from 1925 to 1943 with the New York Giants and Brooklyn Dodgers. Nicknamed "Fat Freddie" and known for his mastery of the knuckle curve, Fitzsimmons' 217 wins were the third most by a NL right-hander in the period from 1920 to 1955, trailing only Burleigh Grimes and Paul Derringer. In 1940 he set an NL record, which stood until 1959, with a single-season winning percentage of .889 (16–2). He was an agile fielder in spite of his heavy build, holding the major league record for career double plays (79) from 1938 to 1964, and tying another record by leading the league in putouts four times; he ranked eighth in NL history in putouts (237) and ninth in fielding percentage (.977) when his career ended. Part of The Uncle Jimmy Collection.
