Robinson, Shantz, Wertz (twice), Fain, Turner (coach), Dom DiMaggio, Jensen, Avila, Hegan, Raschi, Reynolds, McDougald, Bauer, and Mitchell. Also featured on the ball are the signatures of Charlie Silvera (probably as a bullpen catcher) and A's pitcher Alex Kellner (the game was played at Shibe Park). An inscription on the sweet spot reads "To my friend Hank - Bob Bauman." (Bob Bauman was the longtime trainer for the St. Louis Cardinals.) The additional notation "All Star '52" appears on the ball label, while the number “17” is written in red ink on a side panel. Signatures average 7/10, except for Paige (2/10). The manufacturer’s stampings are light, otherwise the ball is in Excellent condition. Full LOA from JSA.
