Fresh off a trip to the 1962 World Series, the San Francisco Giants made one lucky fan's day, with this 1963 team-signed baseball. Perusing the Giants roster, it's easy to see why this team made it to the Fall Classic in '62 and was in contention in '63. Their lineup was stacked with heavy hitters including Hall of Famers Willie Mays, Willie McCovey and Orlando Cepeda. The pitching staff was equally deep, featuring the likes of Juan Marichal, Jack Sanford, Billy O'Dell, Bob Bolin and Don Larsen. These greats, and a good number of others, are present in the lineup of (24) autographs decorating this period-signed ONL/Giles ball, which presents in (NM+) condition. The autographs range ("6" to "8") in potency, with:
Sweet spot: Al Dark (manager, stamped signature), Orlando Cepeda (HOF);
North panel: Willie Mays (HOF), Bob Bolin, Juan Marichal (HOF), Harvey Kuenn, Jim Davenport, Don Larsen and Jack Sanford;
