ONL Giles Ball Signed by Wilhelm, Irvin, 24 More 1954 World Champ NY Giants.
Lot 103. ONL Giles Ball Signed by Wilhelm, Irvin, 24 More 1954 World Champ NY Giants. Our consignor had this ball signed at spring training games in Arizona in 1954. How many of these players thought that their team would go on to win the World Series, sweeping the Cleveland in four games? The ball is ex+ with minor scuffing and displays extremely well. A Leo Durocher signature is stamped on the sweet spot. The other signatures are real, include that of Ruben Gomez (deceased), who signed below the Durocher stamp. The other signatures are: John Antonelli, five time All-Star and NL Sporting News Pitcher of the Year; Al Corwin (d.), Paul Giel (d.), College Baseball and Football Hall of Fame member; Marv Grissom (d.), Jim Hearn (d.), Larry Jansen, Alex Konikowski (d.), Don Liddle (d.), Sal Maglie, John McCall (d.), Hoyt Wilhelm (d.), first relief pitcher elected to the HoF; Al Worthington, Ray Katt (d.) Wes Westrum (d.), Joe Amalfitano (rookie), Forster Castleman (r.), Al Dark, Bill Gardner (r.), B Hofman (d.), Whitey Lockman, Hank Thompson (d.), Dave Williams, Monte Irvin (HoF), Jim Mueller, Jim Rhodes and Bill Taylor. Konikowski’s signature is a 4, and Taylor’s, a 6. The others are overwhelmingly nm-m 8s to gem mint 10s. This ball is beautifully signed, and it displays dramatically. There still is some limited space for Willie Mays to sign it. Authenticated by Kevin Keating.
Winning Bid $300.
