Lot 862: Dizzy Dean Single Signed Baseball
ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||
One of the most desired single signed baseballs on the market. Ol' Diz' is one of the most renowned pitchers of all time - not just for his dominating numbers, but because he was so entertaining to watch. A favorite on the famed St. Louis Cardinals "Gas House Gang", Dean earned four consecutive strikeout titles as the reliable Cardinals anchor, compiling an astonishing 120 wins in just his first 5 seasons in the Majors. There's just one word to describe his talent - brilliant. So great was his impact on baseball, that he was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1939. Just imagine what his numbers would look like if his career wasn't cut short by injury. Gorgeous sweet spot signature is EX-MT, rating an 8 out of a possible 10. The ball itself, an ONL (Giles) ball in EX-MT condition with a lovely slightly off-white tone, a fine leather surface for this pristine signature.
