Willie Mays along with Hank Aaron, Alex Rodriguez and Albert Pujols are the only baseball immortals who can claim more than 3,000 hits and 600 home runs. Offered is the actual Official National League Warren Giles baseball that "The Say Hey Kid" launched into the stands at Candlestick Park for his 503rd career home run, which was also his 50th of the 1965 season. Underneath a coating of shellac is the black ink signature of Mays, an inscription which reads "50th Home Run / September 25th, 1965 / Pitcher Bob Sadowski / Milwaukee Braves" on the side panels and additional printing on a panel written in an unknown hand. Here's an incredible opportunity to obtain a sought-after 500+ home run baseball from one of the greatest to ever play the game. This ball comes with a LOA from MEARS (314900), who have attributed this ball to Mays’ 503rd career home run and LOAs from JSA (Y91487) and PSA/DNA (AC05700) for his signature.
