Lot #353:

1968 St. Louis Cardinals Team Signed ONL (Giles) Baseball World Series Champions w/28 Sigs. Incl. Roger Maris Lou Brock Steve Carlton Bob Gibson Curt Flood - JSA

Talk about star power, the St. Louis Cardinals had an abundance of it in 1968. Hall of Famers Bob Gibson and Lou Brock provided the sizzle while Steve Carlton was a middle of the rotation upstart. And don't forget the veteran leadership of Roger Maris.

This ONL (Giles) baseball is signed by 28 members of the 1968 World Series winning club. We have deduced the vintage because of the inclusion of Johnny Edwards, who was rostered on that one championship squad. Most have responsibly penned their identity on this cream colored hide in ballpoint ink. Those who signed include: Maris, Carlton, Flood, Larry Jaster, Nelson Briles, Brock, Ed Spiezio, Dal Maxvill, Tim McCarver, Edwards, Dick Hughes, Ray Washburn, Mel Nelson, Red Schoendienst, Orlando Cepeda, Bob Tolan, Ron Davis, Dave Ricketts, Wayne Granger, Dick Schofield, Joe Hoerner, Gibson, Mike Shannon and five more.
