Autographed Rawlings football with many great signatures including Hall of Famers. One section painted white with Rams logo and inscribed "This Ball Is Presented to Marty Thomsen/From Tommy Mason/??? the/Los Angeles Rams." We could not identify Marty Thomsen. "Tommy Mason was selected first overall by the expansion Minnesota Vikings in the 1961 NFL Draft. In six seasons with the Vikings, he rushed for 3,252 yards and scored 28 touchdowns. In 1967 NFL season, he was signed by the Los Angeles Rams. He played with the Rams for four years, but accumulated only four touchdowns and less than 900 yards. He finished his career with the Washington Redskins in 1971." from Wikipedia. Signed by 1969-70 Rams players. Hall of Famer autographs include Deacon Jones, Roman Gabriel, Merlin Olsen, Tom Mack, Jack Pardee. Others autographs-Doug Woodlief, Ken Iman, Joe Scibelli, Billy Truax, Tommy Mason, Ron Smith, David Ray, Karl Sweeton, Bob Klein, Jim Purnell, Coy Bacon, Richie Petitbon, Alvin Haymond, Charlie Cowan, Wendell Tucker, Pat Curran, Maxie Baughan, George Burman, Larry Smith, Jim Nettles, Mitch Johnson. The football is in excellent condition and has not seen the light of day for decades. Anybody growing up in this era knew and admired the Rams, particularly Deacon Jones and Merlin Olsen, two of the original "fearsome foursome" along with Rosey Grier and Lamar Lundy. In my own life (fh), I grew up across the street from Olsen and Gabriel in the 1960s, who were both kind and gracious to youngsters. This is a wonderful artifact from this era of professional football.Date: Country (if not USA): State: CaliforniaCity: Provenance:
