Tom Seaver and Bud Harrelson shared a special bond coming up through the New York Mets farm chain, and their closeness was apparent on this Official International League ball signed by 14 members of the 1966 Tidewater Tides, the New York Mets' top farm team, a year before both made it to the show and Seaver won 16 games and the NL Rookie of the Year Award. Seaver signed his name just above Harrelson's on a side panel in black pen, with the signatures rating a 6. Other names include manager Solly Hemus (SS), Ken Boswell, Danny Menendez, Bill Wynne, Johnny Lewis, etc. The signatures rate 6s and 7s.
