A tremendous collection of Joe Sewell single-signed balls. Sewell’s big league career was born out of one of the game’s tragedies. After Indians shortstop Ray Chapman died after being struck by a pitch from the Yankees’ Carl Mays in August 1920, Sewell was called up from the minors. The 21-year-old Sewell played in just 92 minor league games before his big league debut, yet he settled in immediately and helped the Indians win the 1920 World Series title. Collection includes twelve (12) Official American League (Bobby Brown) balls each signed and inscribed "1977 H.O.F." by the great Joe Sewell in crisp blue ink. Signatures rate 8/10 overall; balls present EX.
