ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||
Second place never felt sweeter, and this baseball was the cherry on top when Hank Aaron hit it over the wall to surpass Willie Mays (660 career homers) as the number 2 on the all-time home run list behind Babe Ruth. A mangy pearl, this Official National League (Feeney) baseball has printed on sweet spot, “Ball hit by Hank Aaron for his 661st career home run, Cincinnati - August 6, 1972.” Includes letter attesting to its coming from umpire Billy Williams’ estate.
