$2,499.00

Presented is an Official American League (Harridge) Baseball signed by members of the 1953 St. Louis Browns. 1953 would be the final season for the Browns in St. Louis, earning a record 54–100 under manager Marty Marion. After the season, the Browns moved to Baltimore, becoming the Baltimore Orioles. The 1953 Browns own the infamous honor of owning the longest home losing streak (in terms of number of losses) in North American major professional sports (30) until the CFL's Edmonton Elks would break that record in 2023. Sixteen former Browns including National Baseball Hall of Famers Satchel Paige and fellow stars Marty Marion, Dick Littlefield, Dick Kryhoski, Les Moss, Bobo Holloman, Billy Hunter, Bob Elliott, Bill Norman, Jim Dyck, Roy Sievers, Don Lenhardt, Bobby Young, Hank Edwards, Willy Miranda and Duane Pillette have penned their blue ink signatures across the entirety of the baseball, with Marion signing the sweet spot (16 signatures).  LOA from Beckett for the signatures accompanies (AF02470).
