Despite it being the "Year of the Pitcher," Cubs sluggers Banks, Williams and Santo combined for just shy of 100 HRs—including a Santo walk-off grand slam. Moundwhile, Fergie Jenkins enjoyed his second of six straight 20-win seasons and led the league with 40 starts. This clean, creamy-toned "CHICAGO CUBS" ball has clearly been safeguarded under lock and key for the past half-century. It's a real beauty with blue-ink signatures. Bold Spalding stamps and bright red stitches round out the sphere's striking visual appeal.
