This was the first year that the AL gave out its own Cy Young Award. Jim Lonborg won easily over Joel Horlen.
During the first eleven years (1956 - 1966), only one winner from Major League Baseball was selected. Immediately after Commissioner Frick retired, the rules were changed to honor the best pitcher from each league. In 1961, AL pitcher Whitey Ford of the Yankees won the Award.
The first winner of the Cy Young Award was Brooklyn Dodger, Don Newcombe in 1956.

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.
