1957 CLEVELAND INDIANS TEAM-SIGNED BALL W/ MARIS

Sign In to see what this sold for

Folks often forget that Roger Maris's rookie season came not with the Yankees or Kansas City A's, but with Cleveland in 1957. This Indians team-signed OAL (Harridge) ball not only carries Maris's young signature, but also a handful of HOFers and other notable players of the day. Pitchers Bob Lemon and Early Wynn, veterans of the '54 World Championship, are two of the Hall-of-Fame signers, and newest inductee Dick Williams is the third. Other key signatures on this ball: manager Kerby Farrell, Chico Carrasquel (both sharing sweet spot), Herb Score, Joe Altobelli, Bobby Avila, Russ Nixon, George Strickland, Vic Wertz, Larry Raines, Stan Pitula and fan favorite Rocky Colavito. Maris autograph hounds and historic Indians fans should check out this excellent artifact. (James Spence LOA)
