Offered here is a transcendent piece of baseball legacy–an Official League Baseball signed by an exclusive circle of the game's most prolific homerun hitters, the esteemed members of the 500 Home Run Club.

Each signature on this ball is not just that of a player who mastered the long ball but a storied individual who left an indelible mark on the sport. Hank Aaron and Willie Mays represent a holy grail of baseball provenance. Aaron's 755 homeruns stood as an apex of achievement, his quiet leadership a model of integrity and grace under pressure.
