UPDATE: Note: This is the only team-signed baseball that we have handled with Eddie Gaedel.
This baseball was signed by 21 members of the 1951 St. Louis Browns including Eddie Gaedel, the 3'7" midget hired by team owner Bill Veeck for a publicity stunt, who became the shortest man to ever play in a major league baseball game. This is the only team-signed baseball that we have handled with Eddie Gaedel. Other signatures include Dale Long, Zack Taylor, Bill Veeck, Ray Coleman and Bob Mahoney. The grading of the signatures ranges from 3 to 7/8; Gaedel grades a 7. The ball has a light coat of shellac and shows a few nicks and some toning. With the little guy on it, this is a tough one to find!
