1950 Bowman Doyle Lade #196 PSA 8! Cubs!

Description: This lot features the 1950 Bowman Doyle Lade #196 PSA 8! Lade made his major league debut on September 18, 1946, and played three games for the Cubs, losing two and finished with a 4.11 ERA. During the 1947 Chicago Cubs season, Lade had career highs in games started with 25, games played with 34, inning pitched with over 187, 11 wins, 10 losses, and a 3.94 ERA. By the end of the season, sportswriters were declaring the White Sox giving up Lade to be a "mistake" on their part. Over the next three seasons, Lade was primarily used as a spot starter. During the 1948 Chicago Cubs season, he played the first two months of the season before being optioned to Los Angeles to the disappointment of Ralph Kiner, who had hit five home runs off of Lade. He was later recalled and finished the season with the Cubs. He finished the season with a 4.02 ERA, five wins, and six losses in 19 games. The 1949 Chicago Cubs season saw Lade continue his role as a utility pitcher, pitching in 36 games, starting 13, and finishing 12, going 4–5 with an ERA of 5.00 in the process. Lade put up similar stats during the 1950 Chicago Cubs season. In 34 games, 12 of which he started, he won five, lost six, and had an ERA of 4.74. He was on the Cubs' roster through the winter preceding the 1951 season, but was cut May 15, 1951, to reduce the Cubs to a 25-man roster. This signified the end of his major league career, with Lade having played his last game on September 29, 1950. As a hitter, Lade was better than average for a pitcher, posting a .220 batting average (36-for-164) with 15 runs, 11 RBI and drawing 14 bases on balls. Defensively, he was a better than average fielding pitcher, recording a .988 fielding percentage, committing only two miscues in 171 total chances in 537.1 innings pitched, which was 27 points higher than the league average at his position. Here’s a great looking example of the 1950 card here. This beauty has 4 decent corners, 4 good borders and a sold surface with full color and clarity. The reverse is crisp and clean with a pack fresh background color, near perfect centering and no marks or blemishes of any kind. Buyer adds 2.50 for ship insured, US customers only.
