ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||
Magnificent horsehide is covered with the prestigious signatures of 30 HOFers who signed at the 1975 ceremonies at Cooperstown, including Mickey Mantle, who made it into the Hall just the year before, and '75 inductee Ralph Kiner. Others include Joe DiMaggio on the opposite SS, Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford, Bob Gibson, Casey Stengel, Lefty Grove, Johnny Mize, Rube Marquard, Ted Lyons, Harry Hooper, Robin Roberts, Bob Feller, Ducky Medwick, Charlie Gehringer, etc., as well as Negro league greats Satchel Paige, Buck Leonard, and Cool Papa Bell. Signatures quality averages 6 to 8, with Mantle & Joe D toward the high end. A rare delight, as far too many of these all-timers have since passed away, making this ball a last hurrah.
