This ball, signed during Ted's playing days, is hundreds of times more rare than a single signed ball from the later part of his life. The Official American League (Harridge) baseball was signed in-person at Briggs Stadium on June 28, 1958 during a Red Sox vs. Tigers game. The sweet spot signature is 7.5/10, while the ball itself is EX-MT with a faded label. It is dated "6-28-58" on the panel below the signature.
