Beginning a Senior Circuit dynasty that saw them capture six pennants in 10 seasons, the 1947 Brooklyn Dodgers paced the circuit in walks, on-base percentage and stolen bases. This ONL Giles ball is signed by (25) members of that offensive juggernaut. The medium-toned orb (grade “5-6”) has black or blue ink pennings that average (“5”) strength, with a few nicer. Keys include: Casey (d.1951), Hodges, Lavagetto, Reese, J. Robinson (“5”) and Vaughan (d.1952). Full photo LOA from JSA. More on our website.
Sweet Spot: Vaughan and Walker; North Panel: Bankhead, Taylor, King, Resier, Reese (“5-6”), Pitler, Shotten (manager) and Walker (clubhouse); South Panel: Blades (coach), Sukeforth (coach), Bragan, Jorgensen (“3”), J. Robinson (“5”), Gionfriddo and Hatten; West Panel: Hodges (“6-7”), Branca, Stanky, Gregg, Reiser (repeat signature), Brown and Lavagetto; East Panel: Walker (repeat signature), Lombardi, Edwards, Casey (“4-5”) and Reese (repeat signature, “4-5”).
