Official Rawlings national league baseball (Charles Feeney, Pres) signed perfectly on the side panel by Dodger legend Jim "Junior" Gilliam. The bold blue signature rates an 8/10 and includes a "To Frank" inscription. Due to his death in 1978 at the age of 49, single signed Gilliam baseballs are very scarce and rarely seen for sale. A member of the '55 Brooklyn Dodgers World Championship team, Gilliam went on to coach in L.A until the time of his death. A full JSA Letter of Authenticity accompanies this baseball.
