Shortly before he became one of the most beloved Yankees, Paul O'Neill played eight seasons in the Reds outfield. The 39th of O'Neill's 281 career home runs came on April 18, 1990, against the Padres at Riverfront Stadium. This is the actual ball that was hit by O'Neill he slugged off Rafael Valdez - an official National League (White) baseball that shows nice use and is signed on a side panel in 8/10 ballpoint pen by O'Neill. It comes with a certificate of authenticity from the Reds themselves. O'Neill was traded to New York before the 1993 season, and he helped the Bronx Bombers capture four World Series titles in a five-year span beginning in 1996.
