There is a still a certain magic in the air when the 1957 Milwaukee Braves are mentioned to true Wisconsin baseball fans. To date, that is the only World Series winning team Brew City has experienced.
This ONL (Giles) baseball is signed by 30 members of the team in ballpoint ink. A protective layer has been applied to preserve the strength of each signature. At some point, this ball was mounted to a display as there is hole on the ONL (Giles) stamping. The stitching has pulled away from the horseside on each side.
Those who signed this orb include: Hank Aaron, Lou Burdette, John DeMerit, Ernie Johnson, Johnny Logan, Andy Pafko, Del Rice, Charlie Root, Warren Spahn, Frank Torre, Joe Adcock, Gene Conley, Fred Haney, Dave Jolly, Felix Mantilla, Taylor Phillips, John Riddle, Carl Sawatski, Hawk Taylor, Billy Bruton, Del Crandall, Bob "Hurricane" Hazle, Nippy Jones, Don McMahon, Juan Pizzaro, Mel Roach, Red Schoendienst, Bob Throwbridge and a few more.
