Oh, if only there were a Wild Card in 1942. That was the year the Brooklyn Dodgers tied a record for most wins without a postseason appearance as their 104 victories fell two shy of the National League pennant-winning Cardinals. This Official National League (Frick) baseball features 24 signatures from that hard-luck team, including Galan, Medwick, Rowe, Herman, Owen, Dahlgren, Camille, Casey, Vaughan, and a young Pee Wee Reese. The ball is clean and light cream in color with signatures average 7/10-all in black ink.
