While they’re not quite Hall of Famers, the players who have individually autographed these (48) baseballs are famous, nonetheless! We have the man that threw back-to-back no-hitters, the MVP of Brooklyn’s lone conquest of the Yankees, the unfortunate hurler who yielded the “Shot heard ‘round the World” – and dozens of others remembered for stellar careers. The baseballs range from clean white (grade “9”) to lightly toned (grade “5-6”) and feature sweet spot ballpoint signatures that average (“9”) potency, with several having added inscriptions detailing their impressive feats.
