It's not polite to stare, but with this stunner we can't blame you. They just don't come much nicer than this OAL (Harridge) ball, just one shade off-white and boasting a sweet spot signature that hasn't aged a day. Hard to believe, but this ball was given to the consignor for free as part of a Ford Motors promotion when he purchased a brand new '47 model at the lot. It was one of the Babe's last endorsement deals. Sadly, the car's long gone, but the best item from the glove compartment keeps the legend of the Bambino alive.
