Symbolic of the “old school” and its revered heroes, this OAL mini baseball is autographed by the second-ever member of the esteemed “500 Home Run Club.” The creamy orb measures 7-1/4” in circumference and is signed on a side panel by Jimmie Foxx. Executed in green-ink, Foxx’ penning projects (“7”) strength and clarity with the upper-case “J” and “F” characters unmistakable traits of the first right-handed member and second Maryland native in the esteemed longball fraternity. The trademark stampings show the facsimile scriptings of both Harridge and Cronin and a notation on an adjacent panel (in an unknown hand) dates the souvenir to 1960. Full photo LOAs from PSA/DNA and JSA.
