The Singing Cowboy, who bought the Angels in the early1960s and guided them until his death in 1998, probably wasn't in the saddle but rather a cushy VIP seat when he signed this recent vintage California League baseball in red ink with the inscription "To Bill, best wishes from Gene Autry." Signature of the popular prairie crooner of the '30s and '40s rates a solid 8/10. Ball is nearly pristine.
