Offered here are two single-signed baseballs from two Hall of Famers and arguably two of the greatest baseball players to ever play the game – Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams. The first ball was signed on the sweet spot by Joe DiMaggio in blue pen on this Official American League Gene A. Budig stamped baseball. Of all the great Yankees, perhaps none played the game of baseball with as much grace and skill as Joe DiMaggio. An All-Star in each of his 13 seasons, DiMaggio carried the Yankees to nine World Series titles during his time in the Bronx. As a hitter, DiMaggio was peerless. Over his career, which was interrupted by valiant service in World War II, “The Yankee Clipper” smashed 361 home runs while striking out only 369 times. DiMaggio was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1955. This ball displays slight toning and comes with a LOA from Beckett Authentication.

The second baseball was signed by Ted Williams on the sweet spot of this Official American League Bobby Brown ball in blue pen. Williams was the purest hitter who ever lived, a sweet-swinging dynamo with 19 All-Star selections and two American League MVP awards to his name. His statistics border absurdity, as the Splendid Splinter’s on-base percentage of .482 and single-season batting average of .406 in 1941 has still to this day not been reached. Even though Williams spent three seasons of his prime serving in World War II, the Boston left fielder finished his career with 521 home runs. Williams was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1966, his first year of eligibility. This ball displays minor toning with some blemishes, none of which affecting Williams’ signature and it comes with a LOA from Beckett Authentication.
