A baseball with a story, this dual-signed piece features Joe DiMaggio and lesser-known Ken Keltner, though the two are tied together in history. Official American League (Brown) ball actually has Keltner on the sweet spot and the Hall of Famer Joltin' Joe on the panel below; it was Keltner's two outstanding defensive plays for the Cleveland Indians that played a major role in snapping DiMaggio's epic 56-game hitting streak in 1941. Joe went on to hit safely in the next 16 games, meaning that the already unassailable streak could well have expanded to 73 games were it not for Keltner's defensive brilliance. Comes with PSA LOA as well as Letter of Authenticity issued by JSA.
