A changing of the guard, so to speak, is represented on this baseball autographed by (3) Hall of Famers. The occasion is subject to speculation, but the date is likely narrowed to 1952 or 1953. The medium is an ONL Giles sphere that shows apparent diamond use. On a side panel, blue ballpoint signatures of Frankie Frisch (“4” strength) and Rogers Hornsby (“6-7” strength) were rendered in their respective capacities as a New York Giants broadcaster and manager of the St. Louis Browns (1952) or Cincinnati Reds (1952-1953). An adjacent panel is home to the scripting of Monte Irvin (“4” strength). There is evidence of signature removals on side panels. Full photo LOA from JSA.
