Originating from the former player and current radio announcer, many of these offerings are from the huge ball tower that was in the center of Mike Shannon's restaurant in downtown St. Louis, and most were obtained in person from the players by Shannon. In all, 90-plus percent are on ONL, OAL or OML baseballs, mostly around EX with the only condition issues being toning, some of which is splotchy. Signatures in pen average 7/10 with many better. Includes: Killebrew, Brett, Mays, Ashburn, Cepeda, Slaughter, Boggs, Perry, Jenkins, Dark, Gwynn, Selig, H. Caray, Oliva, Morgan, Winfield, LaRussa, Marichal, Musial, Carlton, Rose, G. Carter, Aparicio, Schoendienst, Piazza, Gibson, Ueker, Kaline, Santo, Score, Maddux, Nomo, Groat, Kalus, Roberts, McGwire, Kiner, Eckersley, Shannon, Perez, Clemens, Seaver, Foster, Gossage, Garvey, J. Clark, O. Smith, Molitor, Staub, J. DiMaggio (very light), Bench, Berra, Pinella, McCarver, Schmidt, Scully and more. There's very little duplication with some having two at the most and many Cardinals players.
