Nestled tightly in its original packaging, this official National League baseball from the late 1940s bears a "Ford C. Frick" facsimile signature on the band encompassing the paper label. A former sportswriter, Frick served as National League president from 1934 to 1951 before spending the next 15 years as the commissioner of Major League Baseball. The ball and its wrapping are in EX-MT condition.
