Official National League ball (Feeney) signed on a side panel in blue ink by Gil Hodges, who has added the inscription "Best Wishes" above his signature. Hodges' signature, especially alone on a baseball, is scarce due to his death in 1972 at the age of 47. This is only the second example we have offered in the past 20 years! The ball displays scattered abrasions and a few spots of light toning. Excellent condition overall. Full LOA from PSA/DNA. Full LOA from James Spence/JSA. Reserve $200.
