In 1923 the New York Giants advanced to their third consecutive World Series after claiming the National League pennant by 4.5 games over the Cincinnati Reds. They faced the New York Yankees in the World Series for the third consecutive year, having won the previous two meetings between the teams. Unfortunately for the Giants, they could not close out this World Series, which became the Yankees first ever title.

     This Official National League John A. Heydler baseball has been signed by 27 members of the ’23 Giants. Hall of Famers Ross Youngs, Dave Bancroft, Travis Jackson, George “High Pockets” Kelly, Casey Stengel, and Frankie Frisch have placed their signatures on this baseball. The signature of Bancroft appears on the sweet spot. Other signatures include Irish Meusel, Bill Cunningham, Cozy Dolan, Dinty Gearin, Hugh McQuillan, Walt Huntzinger, John “Mule” Watson, Ralph Shinners, Jimmy O’Connell, Freddie Maguire, Frank Snyder, Jack Scott, Hank Gowdy, Jack Bentley, Heinie Groh, Rosy Ryan, and several more. The signatures have been written in black fountain pen. This item comes with a LOA from Steve Grad of Beckett Authentication (A81863).
