Although the 1967 and 1968 Pittsburgh Pirates finished poorly in the standings, their lineup of stars would soon coalesce into a World Series winner. We offer two Spalding ONL Giles baseballs, team signed one each by the 1967 and 1968 Pirates. The first ball is toned overall and has been signed by 26 members of the 1967 Pirates, including manager Harry Walker (sweet spot), Hall of Famer Willie Stargell, Roy Face (three times), Maury Wills, Donn Clendenon and Al Luplow. The signatures grade an overall 6-7. The second ball shows very light toning and is signed by five 1968 Pirates: Hall of Famers Roberto Clemente and Willie Stargell, Dock Ellis, Al Oliver and Luke Walker. These signatures grade a strong 8. Comes with a letter from PSA/DNA.
