Description

Three single-signed official Rawlings National League (White and Giamatti) baseballs, each signed on the sweet spot in blue ballpoint, including one signed by Willie Mays and two signed by Leo Durocher. In overall fine condition, with mild scattered soiling. Willie Mays once said, 'Leo Durocher was like my father away from home.' The bond between the two baseball Hall of Famers was as strong as steel. In fact, Mays might not have become the player he did if the struggling rookie didn't have Durocher in his corner early in his career. A desirable trio of baseballs signed by the Giants Hall of Famers. Each ball is accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from JSA.
