Controversy surrounded the 1957 outing as the fanatical Cincinnati voters stuffed the ballot boxes and elected their entire team (minus the batboy) onto the National League's starting roster. This upset Commissioner Ford Frick greatly and he responded by removing Gus Bell and Wally Post from the starting nine. He also transferred the responsibility for All-Star voting to the players, managers and coaches the next year. Fortunately, for those baseball fans from outside the Ohio area, that afternoon the visitor's dugout was filled with finest talent the American League had to offer. Presented is an Official American League (Harridge) baseball with strong 8/10 ink signatures from that entire and incredible twenty-three man squad. Included are: Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams and Casey Stengel (on the sweet spot), Early Wynn, Harvey Kuenn, Al Kaline, Yogi Berra, Jim Bunning, George Kell, Vic Wertz, Elston Howard, Minnie Minoso, Nellie Fox and more. Graded 7 (NRMT) overall by PSA with LOA.
