Maintaining the uniformly high standards of Walt Alston's personal collection is this 1959 Los Angeles Dodgers team signed baseball. The Dodgers won the World Series in 1959 and this ball is a champion just like the team that signed it. The near mint to mint ONL Giles ball is white with nearly perfect stamping and is signed in blue ink by 29 members of the 1959 Dodgers. The autographs are 8s and 9s and include Alston and Chuck Dressen on the sweet spot as well as Gil Hodges, Sandy Koufax, Don Drysdale, Carl Furillo, etc.
