The 1938 Cincinnati Reds were a competitive bunch at 82-68, finishing fourth in the National League, and this baseball boasts 18 signatures from that ballclub, including an extremely rare one: Willard Hershberger, a catcher who would take his own life just two years later. The Official National League (Frick) baseball is clean and NRMT, with signatures ranging in strength but those from Hershberger and first-year manager Bill McKechnie are both the sweet spot and rating 6.5/10. Some of the others are more faded like Lombardi, Roush, and Gowdy. The autographs also include Johnny Vander Meer, which is 6/10, Vander Meer famously tossed consecutive no-hitters on June 11 and 15 of this year - a feat no one has ever equaled.
