Presented here is a spectacular artifact commemorating the Los Angeles Dodgers' second World Series Championship in just their sixth season in LA and their second at their new stadium at Chavez Ravine. With Sandy Koufax showing the form that would ultimately leave him with a plaque in Cooperstown the Dodgers won the National League pennant by 6 ½ games and then did the unthinkable sweeping their hated rivals the Yankees in four games in the World Series. It marked the beginning of the club's greatest run in LA three pennants and two World Series titles in a four-year-span extending to the premature retirement of Koufax after the 1966 World Series. Of such a dramatic resume comes this historic team-signed Dodgers baseball from the collection of the team's legendary manager Walt Alston. The ball claims 29 blazing autographs on an Official National League Giles ball with signatures that have been carefully applied in a uniform blue ballpoint almost all uncommonly bold and vivid in strength and hardly a whisper of smudging of the autographs. The roster of signers includes: Alston and fellow Hall of Famer Leo Durocher on the sweet spot Koufax Drysdale Wills Howard Fairly Tommy Davis Willie Davis Roseboro Moon Perranoski Becker Camilli Richert Calmus Miller Walls Reiser Ferrara and McMullen. Comes with a Letter of Authenticity from the Walter Alston Collection.
Pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
