Description

Dodger’s owner, Walter O'Malley, didn’t sign often but he has signed the sweet spot of this creamy ONL/Feeney baseball with a bold green pen (“8-9”). It is the strongest signature on the ball as the rest of the signatures are much lighter in grey averaging (“4 to 7”).

Sweet Spot: Walter O'Malley (HOF), Walter Alston (HOF).

East Panel: Bill Russell, Jeff Zahn, Don Sutton (HOF), Jerry Royster.

West Panel: Tommy John, Steve Garvey, Kevin Pasley.

North Panel: Steve Yeager, Doug Rau, Al Downing (that year, Downing gave up Hank Aaron's 714th home run).

South Panel: Jim Brewer, Rick Rhoden, Andy Messersmith, Ron Cey.
