Wayne Gretzky, known as "The Great One" for his marvelous hockey talent, once wanted to be a professional baseball player - as a shortstop. "I would've taken baseball all day long," said Gretzky in 2017. "I knew at 14 or 15 that, okay, I do love baseball, but I'm not going to be a professional player." An official MLB baseball (Selig). Hockey Hall of Famer Gretzky signed in blue pen near the Major League logo on the baseball. Excellent condition.
