The 1975 Cincinnati Reds put together one of the most complete seasons in baseball history. With a record of 108-54, they clinched a playoff appearance on September 7 which is the earliest clinch date of any MLB team in a 162-game season. Joe Morgan won the 1975 NL MVP, Sparky Anderson won NL Manager of the Year and Pete Rose won the World Series MVP. The “Spalding” manufactured ONL baseball is signed by 20 players and coaches in pen with the added inscription “1975 Cincinnati Reds” and in our opinion rates a 9 overall with high quality signatures. Signatures include Hall of Famers Joe Morgan, Tony Perez and Sparky Anderson. Additional signatures include: Pete Rose, Dave Concepcion, Jack Billingham, Cesar Geronimo, Pat Darcy, George Foster, Ted Kluszewski, Alex Grammas, Darrel Chaney, Clay Kirby, Merv Rettenmund, Pedro Borbon, Gary Nolan, Terry Crowley, George Scherger, Fred Norman and Tom Carroll.
