Description

A Mid-Summer Classic from the distant past is recalled, with this 1955 American League All-Stars team-signed baseball. This period signed ONL/Giles ball (EX+) has factory labeling that is consistent with the 1952-1957 ONL ball type. A total of (19) signatures are counted, including (7) Hall of Famers. Unless noted, the signatures average ("6" to "7") strength, and most appear to have been applied with the same pen.

Featured signers are:

Sweet spot: Al Lopez (HOF, manager);

North panel: "Yogi" Berra (HOF), Nellie Fox (HOF, d.1975), Jackie Jensen, Steve Gromek (the only non-1955 All-Star), Al Rosen, Billy Hoeft;
