From no better source than their own Hall of Fame manager comes this sparkling team-signed Brooklyn Dodgers baseball from the club's penultimate season in the Borough of Brooklyn before unceremoniously departing for the West Coast in 1958. The Dodgers won their fifth National League pennant in eight years in 1956 only to lose the World Series to their hated uptown rivals the Yankees. On a wonderful Official National League Giles ball a total of 29 signatures have been applied in a nice uniform blue ballpoint with but a whisper of light dirt or staining to be found on the ball and virtually no hint of the typical toning that afflicts older baseballs. The roster of signers includes: Alston on the sweet spot Robinson Campanella Snider Reese Koufax Drysdale Hodges Furillo Gilliam Newcombe Erskine Zimmer Neal Craig Labine Jackson Walker Fernandez Mitchell Howell Roebuck and Kipp. Comes with a Letter of Authenticity from the Walter Alston Collection.
Pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
