Despite a solid 92-62 record, the Brooklyn Dodgers finished five games behind their crosstown rivals, the New York Giants for the National League pennant. The 1954 season was the first under Hall of Fame manager Walter Alston, who would go on to lead the Dodgers franchise to four World Series titles, including the only title in Brooklyn in the following season of 1955.

Offered here is a Spalding baseball signed by 25 members of the 1954 Brooklyn Dodgers. What makes this ball special is Hall of Famer Jackie Robinson signing this orb twice. Robinson’s signatures are on the north and east panels. On the north panel, besides Robinson are the signatures of Bob Milliken, Hall of Famer Walter Alston, Don Hoak, Preacher Roe and the clubhouse signatures of Sandy Amoros and Billy Cox.
