Description
Presented is an ONL (White) baseball autographed by Stan Musial signed it on the sweet spot in a blue ballpoint pen (9), Terry Moore in the side panel in a blue ballpoint pen (“9”), and Enos Slaughter in the side panel in a blue ballpoint pen (“9”).
Stan Musial, Terry Moore, Enos Slaughter. The Great outfield: When the Cardinals won the 1942 World Series championship, their outfield was Musial in left, Moore in the center, and Slaughter in right. In his book “Stan Musial: The Man’s Own Story,” Musial wrote that Moore was a “timely hitter who’ll be best remembered for his defensive plays, his ham-sized hands, accurate arm and ability to scoop up ground balls like an infielder.” Musial said Slaughter “had to be the greatest hustler of all-time.”

This ball is from one of the largest and most comprehensive collections of autographed baseballs in the world. Altogether they were easily displayable in custom shelf form and alphabetically displayed, nonetheless. The choice of medium was visually easy for the encyclopedic collector who put these together. It took several decades to amass these rare autographs of the most prominent entertainers, historical figures, and sports players. It proved quite difficult to acquire autographs of non-ballplayers on such an odd object (a baseball), but diligence proved otherwise and that it’s possible. So, now with the collection complete and his shelves empty there’s only one thing left to do…. bid on this item and start the challenge to see how far you can take it.
