Induction Weekend at the Baseball Hall of Fame is always an emotional occasion. But at the 1973 Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, emotions overflowed during the celebration of six legends – including one whose passing shocked the world. On Aug. 6, 1973, Roberto Clemente, Billy Evans, Monte Irvin, George Kelly, Warren Spahn and Mickey Welch were enshrined in Cooperstown. For fans of Clemente, it was a moment that came years before it seemed it would. Clemente died on Dec. 31, 1972 in a plane crash while delivering earthquake relief supplies to Nicaragua. He was nearing the end of his storied playing career, but was not yet ready for retirement.
This unique Doubleday Batting Range, Cooperstown, NY stamped baseball features an impressive array of 17 autographs from baseball legends assembled for the 1973 Baseball Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Signatures include Bill Terry (HOF), Pat Olsen, Stan Coveleski (HOF), Harry Hooper (HOF) x 2, Vera Clemente, Hank Greenberg (HOF)(SS), Monte Irvin (HOF), Satchel Paige (HOF), Warren Spahn (HOF), Red Ruffing (HOF), Luke Appling (HOF), Jesse Haines (HOF), Lefty Grove (HOF), "Bullet" Joe Bush and two indecipherable. Signatures average 8/10 in blue. Ball itself is EX. Dated “AUG. 5, 1973” in unknown hand below stampings. Pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
