Presented is a multi-signed baseball, with fourteen (14) autographs, signed by six Hall of Famers: Cy Young, Mickey Mantle, Ford Frick, Bill Terry, Bill Dickey, and Yogi Berra. The ball has eight more signatures, including five New York Yankees. The signatures were made on an Official National League Baseball (Giles). Cy Young adds an unusual touch to the signatures. Young has the most lifetime victories in baseball history, with 511 wins against 316 losses. Young played from 1890-1911, with his most prominent times with the National League's Cleveland Spiders (1890-98) and the American League's Boston Americans/Red Sox (1901-08). Frick was the Commissioner of Baseball (1951-65). Of course, Mantle was the all-time leader in home runs by a switch-hitter, with 536. Terry was a New York Giant who hit .401 in 1930, and Berra and Dickey were legendary Yankee catchers. Yankees Allie Reynolds, Eddie Lopat, Gene Woodling, Willie Miranda, and Irv Noren are other signers. A few of the signatures are very faint. The signatures rate 5/10 overall, and the ball exhibits toning and darkening. Some of the signatures are too faint to be legible. The multi-signed ball comes with a JSA LOA.
