There's no denying that New York City was the center of the baseball universe during the 1950s. The "Big Apple" was truly blessed with three fantastic teams, the Yankees, Dodgers, and Giants, who each won at least one World Series, and all won multiple N.L. or A.L. pennants. Driving this great period of success were remarkable centerfielders, Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle, and "Duke" Snider, who play the starring roles in this pair of autographed baseballs. Signature strength averages ("8-9"), and both balls are nicely preserved (NM+) examples.
Featured are:
OAL/Brown ball signed by (3): Mickey Mantle on the sweet spot; "Duke" Snider on the north panel; and Willie Mays on the south panel;
ONL/Giamatti ball signed by (2): Willie Mays on the sweet spot; and "Duke" Snider on the north panel.
