One of the sport's dominant relievers in the late 1970s and early 1980s, Bruce Sutter became the only pitcher to lead the National League in saves five times (1979–1982, 1984). In 1979, Sutter won the NL's Cy Young Award as the league's top pitcher. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown in 2006. He was the fourth relief pitcher to be inducted. He was also selected to the St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame in 2014.

This Chicago Cubs jersey was signed in silver by Sutter and inscribed, "79 Cy" and "HOF 06." This jersey includes a JSA sticker.
