The Hall of Fame centerfielder Willie Mays has signed this Official Major League Allan H. Selig baseball. Mays, a 24-time All-Star, is widely regarded as the best five-tool player to grace the diamond. The Mobile, Alabama native hit for power (660 homers), average (.302 career batting average), could motor down the base paths (338 steals), and claimed 12 National League Gold Glove awards during his legendary career. Mays retired after the 1973 season and was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame on his first ballot in 1979. Mays has signed this baseball in blue pen on the sweet spot. Both his signature and the ball itself have been graded a GEM MINT 10 by PSA/DNA, who have provided a LOA for this encapsulated baseball (81336062).
