Everyone thought it would never happen but it did. The Red Sox winning the World Series was thought to be as likely as the Earth reversing its rotation. Yet, it did finally happen, and thankfully the Earth continues to spin in the same direction. This NRMT-MT official Rawlings World Series ball serves as proof that it really did happen just in case you still don't believe it. First-year manager Terry Francona's signature rests on the sweet spot of the ball, which includes the names of 22 members of the championship club. Players who signed the ball include fabled pitcher Curt Schilling, MVP Manny Ramirez, team captain Jason Varitek, "Big Papi" David Ortiz, Johnny Damon, Keith Foulke and the man who recorded the final out to make the dream a reality, first baseman Doug Mientkiewicz. Signatures and ball are NRMT-MT.
