Connie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics dynasty was a distant memory in 1955 when the team was sold to Charles O. Finley and moved to Kansas City. The change did little as the team lost 91 games, but this toned OAL Harridge ball signed by 24 members of the ‘55 A's is an artifact of baseball entering a new era. Signatures include manager Lou Boudreau (SS), Vic Raschi, Bobby Shantz, Tom Gorman, Harry Craft and the Boyer brothers, Clete and Cloyd. The signatures rate 8s and 9s.
