The ultimate rush for Brooklyn Dodger collectors, bar none -- a team signed ‘55 ball, emblematic of when the “Boys of Summer” for once didn’t wilt like leaves in the chill of October and finally conquered the Yankees to win the team’s only championship. There are 23 signatures on this sainted ONL (Giles) ball, though a few are clubhouse signatures attached by attendants or batboys, a common practice back then. Includes manager Walt Alston (SS), Jackie Robinson, Sandy Koufax, Roy Campanella, Don Zimmer, Jim Gilliam, Carl Furillo, Clem Labine, Carl Erskine, Karl Spooner, Rube Walker, etc. Clubhouse versions are Duke Snider, Pee Wee Reese, Sandy Amoros, Joe Black, Ed Roebuck, George Shuba, Don Bessant and Bert Hamric. Signatures average G-VG with some on the light side but all easily readable. Ball is EX and toned to a very pleasing light gold veneer, and comes with LOA.
