Few baseball players captured the public’s attention as much as Mickey Mantle. An electrifying outfielder, Mantle wowed with his speed and power from both sides of the plate. With 536 career home runs to his name, Mantle has staked his claim as the best switch hitter of all-time. The three-time AL MVP won seven World Series in his 18-year Yankee career. Mantle was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1974.
Mantle signed this Official American League Bobby Brown baseball on the sweet spot in blue ballpoint pen. Mantle’s signature on this ball has earned an incredible MINT 9 grade from Beckett Authentication. The ball itself only displays minor toning with a soft cream colored surface. This baseball has been encapsulated by Beckett Authentication and is in a customized baseball holder. Please note that due to the shape of the encapsulation covering this baseball, a shaddow appears across the signature on the sweet spot and on the back near the stamp. This is merely a reflection on the encapsulatation and not a blemish on the baseball.
