Taking down the "Big Red Machine" of Cincinnati was a tall order, but the supremely talented Baltimore Orioles flat out dominated in the 1970 World Series, beating the Reds 4 games to 1. This O's squad had three 20-game winners, eight players who bashed double digit homers, and they also swept the Minnesota Twins in the Playoffs, to bring their 1970 postseason record to a tidy 7-1. Recall this powerhouse team, with this 1970 Orioles team-signed baseball. An OAL/Cronin model in (EX) condition, this period signed ball hosts (26) autographs, including (4) Hall of Famers, with signature strength ranging ("5" to "8"). Auction LOA from James Spence/JSA.
