Contract, signed “Robert Gibson,” four pages on two adjoining sheets, 8.5 x 11, November 19, 1969. National League uniform player’s contract in which Bob Gibson agrees to render "skilled services as a baseball player during the year 1970" for the St. Louis Cardinals, for a salary of $125,000. Signed and dated at the conclusion in black ballpoint by Gibson and countersigned by Cardinals General Manager Bing Devine and National League President Warren Giles. In fine condition. In spite of the Cardinals' lackluster 76-86 record, Gibson shined as the squad's ace, tallying a National League-leading 23 wins, a 3.12 ERA, and 274 strikeouts en route to another Golden Glove and his second Cy Young Award.
