After batting between .338 and .392 from 1924-27 in the Pacific Coast League, Lefty O'Doul moved on to the majors and would eventually win two National League batting titles. Later in life, O'Doul managed a young Joe DiMaggio on the PCL's San Francisco Seals. O'Doul signed this white, near mint to mint ONL Giles ball with a huge blue ink signature reading "To Mike Kendrick Best Regards From "Lefty" O'Doul 8/8/65." The signature rates a near 10 and is simply incredible, occupying two entire panels and the sweet spot connecting them. The autograph comes with a letter of authenticity from PSA/DNA.
