Extremely high grade ball signed by the 1957 National League All-Star Team, including Walt Alston, Hank Aaron, Gil Hodges, Ed Mathews, Ernie Banks, Red Schoendienst, Warren Spahn, Stan Musial and more. The Official National League (Giles) baseball is NM with 26 blue ink signatures that rate between 8-9/10. The '57 All-Star Game was the 24th edition of the Midsummer Classic and was won by the AL 6-5. The most notable thing about this game happened long before the teams took the field. When seven players from the Cincinnati Redlegs were voted into the team's starting lineup, a conspiracy was uncovered that Cincinnati publications were stuffing the ballot box. Two of the Reds players were withdrawn from the lineup, with Willie Mays and Hank Aaron taking their place. Has been graded by PSA 8 overall, with each autograph and ball grades rating at 8/10.
