No Braves fan can forget the 1957 season, Hank Aaron's MVP season ended with a 2-run homer to clinch the NL pennant and then their first World Championship since the year of the Miracle Braves (1914). In dramatic fashion, the second part to the Braves' formidable one-two punch, Lew Burdette shut out the Yanks twice in the Series. Gorgeous 14 karat gold ring by Balfour belonged to the man with a long Major League career, but only one at-bat, Bob Keely. "R.W. Keely Coach" engraved on two plates on left shank with "Braves" on raised lettering. Top is a stunning diamond set with 4 rubies around it. Square top with "Milwaukee World Champions" on raised lettering around perimeter. Right shank is screaming Indian with "1957" below. Size 10.75 is NRMT. LOA from Keely's brother.
