Official Joe Cronin American League baseball signed by Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris and Ralph Houk. Cronin was the AL President during the memorable 1961 season in which both Mantle & Maris pursued the all time single season home run record. Maris would eventually break the record with 61 HR's, a record that would stand for 37 years. If not for the "steroid era" of baseball, it likely would still be standing. The Maris signature on the sought after beauty is Mint and the Mantle is Nrmt/Mt. Incredible ball made even more valuable given the fact the signatures are on a Cronin ball. Accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity from James Spence Authentication.
