Willie Mays Autographed Baseball

  Product Info:

This is a MLB Baseball that has been hand signed by Willie Mays. Mays played in 24 All-Star Games, but is perhaps remembered most for his seemingly impossible catch of Vic Wertz's drive to center field in the first game of the 1954 World Series. He ended his career as an elite member of the 3,000-hit club, with 3,283 overall, and was the first player to hit 50 homers in a season, collecting 660 total. The National League Rookie of the Year in 1951 and two-time Most Valuable Player is also considered one of the best defensive players and has 12 Golden Gloves to show for it. This item is authenticated by All About Autographs. All About Autographs is a leading source for authentic sports and celebrity memorabilia.
