These two balls signed at an Old Timer's Day at Al Lang Stadium in St. Petersburg, Florida on January 14, 1956 are literally covered in baseball history. Thirty-one signatures with nearly identical autographs on each dot every inch of both balls, effectively creating a Who's Who of past greats. Chief among the signers is Hall of Famer Jimmie Foxx, the second youngest player ever to reach the 500 home run plateau. Foxx also finished second all-time in MVP awards won, having garnered three during his career, and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1951. Buttressing Foxx's name are autographs from three more Hall of Famers: Dazzy Vance, Sam Rice, and Paul Waner. Additionally, the ball was signed by Rip Sewell, Spud Chandler, Zach Taylor, Johnny Allen, Fred Hutchinson, Edd Roush, Al Lopez and many more. The signatures rate 9/10 and the balls are in Excellent to Mint condition and come with original Reach bags. Each ball comes with an LOA from PSA.
