Presented is a 3,000 Hit Club baseball signed by 13 members, whose signatures represent an amazing grand total of 43,281 hits. From a "low" of Al Kaline's 3,007 hits to a high of Pete Rose's 4,256 safeties, these players, if they all were in their prime years at the same time, would make the greatest everyday lineup in history. Of course, the team would need a catcher, because, to quote Casey Stengel, "If you don't have a catcher, you'll have a lot of passed balls." Signing the ball: Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Pete Rose, Stan Musial, Carl Yastrzemski, George Brett, Paul Molitor, Eddie Murray, Robin Yount, Lou Brock, Dave Winfield, Rod Carew, and Al Kaline, with all except Rose in the Hall of Fame, with Rose, the all-time Hit King, missing out on the Hall of Fame not because of any lack of the highest ability, but because of his ban from baseball because of gambling. Signing on the sweet spot are Rose and Mays. The Official National League Ball (Coleman) is in Excellent to Mint condition. The signatures rate 8.5/10 overall. The signed ball comes with a Steiner COA and an 8x9.9" color collage photo that contains individual photos of each of the 13 players signing.
