The Milwaukee Braves made to their second straight World Series in 1958. While the team came painstakingly close to back-to-back titles, it wasn't quite meant to be.
This ONL (Giles) baseball is signed by the entire '58 NL pennant winning club in ballpoint ink. We have deduced the vintage to 1958 because Bob Rush, represented on this ball, was teammates with Ernie Johnson, Humberto Robinson, Harry Hanebrink and Carl Sawatski for only that one season.
Those who signed this orb include: Eddie Mathews, Warren Spahn, Joe Adcock, Wes Covington, Mel Roach, Fred Haney, Johnny Logan, Andy Pafko, Felix Mantilla, Robinson, Lou Burdette, Whit Wyatt, Billy Bruton, Bob Keely, Del Rice, Gene Conley, Frank Torre, Hanebrink, Sawatski, Red Schoendienst, Bob Rush, Ernie Johnson, Hank Aaron and six more.
