Jim Lonborg Was the first Boston Red Sox pitcher to win the Cy Young Award. Lonborg won the award in 1967, the first year that the award was given out in both leagues.
The Cy Young Award was established in 1956 to recognize the "best pitcher" in the Major Leagues. The first Cy Yound Award winner was Don Newcombe of the Brooklyn Dodgers, who was also the first "black" player to win the award.
Because Cy Young had never won a Cy Young award we can rule out that the baseball was signed by him. That narrows the list down to about 60 or more pitchers to find a value of a Cy Young award winner that signed the baseball. From the first Cy Young award winner Don Newcombe (1956) to the last two winners, Tim Lincecum, and Cliff Lee (2008) the baseball could be worth anywhere from $25. - $150. or more. To give you a more accurate value you must name the Cy Young award winner that signed the baseball.
The first time the Red Sox went to the World Series, and it just so happens was the very first modern World Series was 1903. They were known as the Boston Americans at that time and we had the original "Cy Young" award winner himself, Mr. Denton True "Cy" Young, who pitched 3 games that series, winning 2.
Don Newcombe of the Brooklyn Dodgers won the first Cy Young Award in 1956, back when the award was presented to the best pitcher in both leagues. Newcombe posted a 27-7 record that season with a 3.06 earned run average.
