Description
1945 New York Giants team signed baseball with outstanding provenance. Includes most of the team roster, including Mel Ott, Joe Medwick, Ernie Lombardi, Nap Reyes and Billy Jurges. 29 signatures total. (On an interesting side note, one of the signers is Bill DeKoning, who played a TOTAL of three games his entire MLB career. Three games with one AB total, no hits. His might well be one of the rarest signatures in baseball.) Provenance: From a direct descendant of New York Giants shortstop Billy Jurges, who obtained the signatures in person from his teammates. This item can be shipped in-house.
