Lot # 1161: Interesting Hall of Famer/Star Multi-Signed OAL/Cronin Baseball with (17) Signatures Including Maris & Puckett - JSA LOA

An interesting lineup of (17) Hall of Famers and stars have decorated the offered multi-signed baseball with their coveted signatures. Though the factory labeling stamps are faded, sufficient integrity remains to positively identify this ball as an OAL/Cronin model. A good number of the subjects were active circa 1964, including players and managers from the Minnesota Twins, New York Yankees, and St. Louis Cardinals. Also noted are a couple of later date Twins alumni, who have been elected to the Hall of Fame. Though a few signatures are on the soft side, the majority are easily discernible, and four of the Hall of Famers are among the boldest examples.

Featured signers are:

Sweet spot: "Yogi" Berra (HOF);

North panel: Lenny Green, Bernie Allen, Johnny Klippstein, Jim Kaat (HOF), Roger Maris (d.1985);

South panel: Lou Brock (HOF), Bert Blyleven (HOF), Jim Grant;

East panel: Jimmie Hall, undetermined, Kirby Puckett (HOF);

West panel: Bobby Richardson, Sam Mele, undetermined, Johnny Keane (d.1967), undetermined.

Full LOA from James Spence/JSA.
