Offered is signed baseball with the signatures of Connie Mack, Bob Bender and others. Mack was the longest-serving manager in Major League Baseball history. He holds records for wins (3,731), losses (3,948), and games managed (7,755), with his victory total being almost 1,000 more than any other manager.  Mack managed the Philadelphia Athletics for the club's first 50 seasons of play, starting in 1901, before retiring at age 87 following the 1950 season, and was at least part-owner from 1901 to 1954. He was the first manager to win the World Series three times, and is the only manager to win consecutive Series on separate occasions (1910–11, 1929–30); his five Series titles remain the third most by any manager, and his nine American League pennants rank second in league history. 

The legendary Major League Baseball player, manager and owner has signed his name “Connie Mack” clearly in blue fountain pen on the sweet spot.  The signature “Bob Bender” is to the left of Mack, in small red pen.  There are at least two other signatures, obscured by wear, in blue ink, below the dark red stitches.  The ball has some dirt and grass stains, and a brown tone, but is otherwise in good condition.  This ball comes with a full LOA from JSA (X13903).
