Stellar 1948 Cleveland Indians World Champs team-signed ball features 23 signatures with a key highlight and NO CLUBHOUSE. Official American League (Harridge) ball is in VG condition, evenly toned and the sweet spot bears the signatures of both Lou Boudreau and Satchel Paige. This is significant in that Paige - already a Negro Leagues legend - played his first two MLB seasons in Cleveland in his early '40s as the first Black pitcher in American League history and only the 7th in the Majors to that point. Other sigs include: Doby (1st Black player in American League), Feller, Lemon, Keltner, Robinson, Hegan, Peck, and even trainer Lefty Weisman. Signatures average 6/10 overall, very difficult to find a team ball with Paige on the sweet spot. PSA LOA.
