Presented is the opportunity to possess a 1951 New York Giants team-signed ball with twenty-five (25) autographs. This '51 Giants team accomplished the legendary "Miracle of Coogan's Bluff," when the team trailed the rival Brooklyn Dodgers by 13.5 games in mid-August, were tied with the Dodgers at the end of the regular season, and then won the final game of a three-game playoff for the National League pennant on a ninth-inning three-run walk-off home run by Bobby Thomson. The Thomson home run in this game has been rated by many experts as the most exciting moment in baseball history. Signatures: Hall of Famer Willie Mays (rookie), Bobby Thomson, Hall of Fame manager Leo Durocher, (the Durocher autograph is a stamp), Hall of Famer Monte Irvin (the Giants' first African American player), Sal Maglie, Eddie Stanky, Don Mueller, Bill Rigney, Al Dark, Henry Thompson, Wes Westrum, Whitey Lockman, Larry Jansen, and more. The Official National League (Frick) ball is in very good to excellent condition. Signed in blue ink, the autographs rate 7/10 overall. Full LOA from PSA.
