The 1957 Milwaukee Braves are still held in high regard among baseball pundits in Wisconsin. The only team from Wisconsin to claim a World Series title signed this ONL (Giles) ball in ballpoint ink. This is one of the nicer '57 team-signed baseballs we have offered. There are 27 signatures on this ball.
The ball is from '57 because it includes Nippy Jones and Bob "Hurricane" Hazle. Both were only teammates for the '57 season. Those who signed include:
Del Crandall, Andy Pafko, Felix Mantilla, Johnny Logan, Joe Adcock, Mel Roach, Bob Buhl, Del Rice, Taylor Phillips, Eddie Mathews, Hank Aaron, Lou Burdette, Gene Conley, Nippy Jones, Don McMahon, Frank Torre, Bob Trowbridge, Warren Spahn, Jon Taylor, Fred Haney, Charlie Root, Wes Covington, Hazle, Carl Sawatski, Red Schoendienst, Ernie Johnson and one more.
A JSA Auction LOA will attend and serve as authentication.
