An oft-told joke about the Amazin' Mets during their first 7 seasons was that the team would win a world championship when men walked on the moon. In 1969, when men did walk on the moon, all the cosmos seemed on the side of the lovable underdogs from Flushing, who became more Amazin' than anyone dreamed. This near mint ONL Giles ball is signed by 26 team members in dark blue ink and the signatures are stunning, crisp and clear, easily rating 9s and near perfect 10s, including: manager Gil Hodges (SS), Tom Seaver, Jerry Koosman, Tug McGraw, Bud Harrelson, Ed Kranepool, Jerry Grote, Gary Gentry, Ed Charles, Wayne Garrett, Donn Clendenon, Art Shamsky, Jim McAndrew, J.C. Martin, Al Weis, etc.
