Although hardly a contender, the Bucs of 1956 were hopeful as they had pieces in place that would ultimately catapult them to the top of the baseball world just four short years later. This evenly toned, creamed-colored ONL (Giles) ball bears 25 blue ballpoint signatures upon its rawhide surface: Bragan(Mgr.), Cole, Skinner, Sukeforth, Narron(coach), Clemente, Mazeroski, Long, Murtaugh(coach), Walls, Thomas, Law, Naranjo, Waters, Friend, Face, Shepard, Kline, Munger, Virdon, J. O'Brien, E. O'Brien, Swanson, Groat, and Pollet. All signatures are strong with the Clemente rating '8-9' for overall strength. Full LOA from James Spence/JSA.
