As a collectible, what could represent more two-man home run power than a baseball signed by both Hank Aaron and Barry Bonds? Displayed is a dual-signed Rawlings Official Major League Baseball (Selig), with the signatures of "Hammerin' Henry" (755 homers) and Bonds (762 homers), players whose combined career total of home runs is an amazing 1,517 circuit clouts. Aaron, who once held the all-time MLB career home run record previously held by Babe Ruth, played 23 Major League seasons: Milwaukee/Atlanta Braves (1954-74) and Milwaukee Brewers (1975-76). Hank batted a lifetime .305, with 3,771 hits. The Hall of Famer was a 25-time All-Star, an MVP, a 2-time batting champ, and a valued leader on the 1957 Milwaukee Braves World Champions. A superb right fielder, Aaron won three Gold Gloves, and likely would have won many more if not for the great Roberto Clemente also performing wonders in right field. Aaron holds the all-time MLB records for both RBIs (2,297) and total bases (6,856) and is second all-time in MLB to Barry Bonds for lifetime homers. The reigning all-time MLB "Home Run King," Barry Bonds is the son of former Major League San Francisco Giants' outfielder Bobby Bonds, and Barry is also the godson of legendary Hall of Fame Giants' center fielder Willie Mays. Barry played 22 Major League seasons: Pittsburgh Pirates (1986-92) and San Francisco Giants (1993-2007). The lefty-swinging Barry Bonds hit .298 lifetime. He holds the all-time MLB record for bases on balls (2,558). The 14-time All-Star was a 7-time MVP. Bonds signed the baseball with a neatly scripted signature in blue ink on the sweet spot. Under Bonds' signature, is hand printed, in blue ink, "11/100." Aaron also signed in blue ink, in a neatly written signature on an adjacent side panel. Stamped on a side panel are some of Bonds' statistics. The dual-signed ball comes with a PSA/DNA Letter of Authenticity (A103340) for the signatures on the ball. The LOA notes that the numbers [11/100] printed after Bonds' signature were "written in an unknown hand." The ball is in excellent condition, and the dual-signed ball will add unprecedented home run clout to any collection.
