Team ball specialists bag a top shelf prize, with this 1939 Boston Red Sox team-signed baseball. Presenting as an (EX+) example with a clean, off-white surface, this Reach Official League ball hosts a total of (20) autographs . Among the roster of signers are an astounding (5) Hall of Famers, with Ted Williams in his rookie season, Jimmie Foxx, who was coming off an AL MVP season in 1938, Joe Cronin, Bobby Doerr and ace hurler "Lefty" Grove. In addition to these all-time greats, this ball also boasts some seriously tough signatures from long departed players Fritz Ostmueller, Joe Vosmik, Lou Finney and Joe Heving, along with key contributors Johnny Peacock and Elden Auker. Despite this stellar lineup, the '39 Red Sox had to settle for second place, a fact this is a strong testament to just how great the first place New York Yankees were at the time.
