1954 Milwaukee Braves Team Signed ONL (Giles) Baseball Hank Aaron Rookie Season - JSA

When a young rookie from Mobile, Alabama emerged in Milwaukee for the 1954 season, baseball in Brew City would never be the same.

From Aaron's rookie season is this signed ONL (Giles) baseball, signed by 25 members of the team in ballpoint ink. A few of the autographs have been enhanced, namely the "Hank" on Aaron's siganture along with Bob Keely and Ernie Johnson. Many of the autographs have faded somewhat. We have deduced the vintage to 1954 because it includes both Jim Wilson and Charlie White. The duo only appeared on the same team in 1954.

Others who signed include: Bob Buhl, Jack Dittmer, Lew Burdette, Bob Shaw, Eddie Mathews, Joe Adcock, Bill Bruton, Dave Jolly, Andy Pafko, Jim Wilson, Del Crandall, Warren Spahn, Charlie White, Bucky Walters, Danny O'Connell and a few more. The Johnny Logan has been deemed clubhouse by JSA.
