Elected to baseballs' Hall of Fame in 1953, Jay Hanna "Dizzy" Dean is to this day the last National League pitcher to win 30 games in one season. Incredibly, Dean averaged 24 wins over his first five seasons while he and his brother Paul led their team to a World Championship. This ONL Warren Giles ball has been signed on the side panel "To Tommy, Best Wishes, Dizzy Dean." The blue ink signature and inscription rate a strong 8. The ball itself is a cream colored beauty with dark stampings.
