A Legendary Milestone in Baseball History

The world of baseball memorabilia is graced with the presence of a remarkable collection of 12 “Rawlings” manufactured OAL baseballs, each a silent witness to the legendary Sparky Anderson’s managerial prowess.

This extraordinary collection includes 12 baseballs, each carrying its own unique story:

• One baseball is not signed but is annotated with the date “6-18-95 2158 3rd Place,” marking Anderson’s ascent to third place in all-time managerial wins.
• The remaining 11 baseballs are signed by Sparky Anderson himself, with signatures that, in our opinion, rate an impressive 8 overall.
