Presented is a series of three individually signed baseballs. The first is an Official Major League Allan H. Selig baseball signed by Jim Bunning. Bunning at his time had the second highest total career strikeouts in Major League history. After retiring, Bunning would go on to become a Senator representing Kentucky. This ball is signed in blue in over the sweet spot. This ball is also inscribed “Senator”. The second ball is an Official National League Leonard S. Coleman baseball signed by Trevor Hoffman, who was the first player to ever reach the 500 and 600 save milestone. This ball is signed in blue ink over the sweet spot. The ball shows some light signs of use, evident by the color, but the signature remains entirely intact.
The third ball is an Official American League Bobby Brown baseball signed by Hal Newhouser. Hal was known as the most devastating pitcher of the WWII era. He would be a six-time All-Star and would win a Pitcher’s Triple Crown for the Detroit Tigers in 1945. He has signed this ball over the sweet spot in blue ink.
