Attempting to win their second straight World Series over the New York Yankees, the Dodgers fell a game short in their quest, losing Game 7 of the 1956 World Series. It was also the series which Don Larsen threw his perfect game. 22 members of the 1956 National League Champion Brooklyn Dodgers have signed this Official National League Warren Giles baseball in blue pen.
Manager and Hall of Famer Walter Alston signed his name across the sweet spot. The north panel has the signatures of Clem Labine, Sandy Amoros, Carl Erskine, Hall of Famer Jackie Robinson and the clubhouse signature of Hall of Famer Duke Snider. The south panel has the signatures of Chico Fernandez, Randy Jackson, Hall of Famer Pee Wee Reese, Rube Walker, Jim Gilliam and Roger Craig.
The east panel with the Spalding stamp has the signatures of Dale Mitchell, Hall of Famer Roy Campanella and Don Bessent. The west panel has the signatures of Sal Maglie, Carl Furillo, Ed Roebuck, Dixie Howell, Gino Cimoli, Hall of Famer Don Drysdale and the clubhouse signature of Don Newcombe. The ball displays minor toning and is in excellent shape considering its age and the stampings are still clear. This multi-signed baseball comes with a full LOA from PSA/DNA (AB12610).
