President Dwight D. Eisenhower Single Signed American League Baseball JSA COA
$49,995.00
Offered here is an official Official American League (Harridge) baseball bearing the signature of Dwight D. Eisenhower, the 34th President of the United States and former General of the Army. His carefully rendered and comfortably long, blue ink autograph impressively fills both the sweet spot and an adjacent side panel of this fresh and off-white, red-laced sphere. Eisenhower (1890-1969) is widely recognized as occupying a spot in the upper echelon of American statesmen. As a modern Republican, he worked to bridge the gap between the country's opposing political parties during a fraught period in American history. A highly respected military leader and tactician, Eisenhower commanded the Allied forces during World War II, served as the Supreme Allied Commander of NATO, and later implemented domestic policies focused on infrastructure development, civil rights, and maintaining a balanced budget through a crucial part of America's development as a modern nation. "Ike's" personal history is intertwined with that of the sporting world: he played for the varsity football team at West Point, including participating in his school's legendary matchup with Jim Thorpe and the Carlisle Indians. (Eisenhower graduated from West Point in a fabled 1915 class alongside fellow five-star general Omar Bradley.) An elite and aesthetically gratifying display piece, this splendid Eisenhower-signed ball boasts clean surfaces and crisp, fully legible Official stampings. LOA from JSA for the signature accompanies it (ZZ53372).
