Stepping up to the plate, is a multi-signed book titled "Baseball in the '50s" by Donald Honig. Crammed with (200+) signatures, this 1987 first edition gives autograph hounds plenty to howl about. The lineup of signers is manned with the greatest players of the 1950s, including Hall of Fame legends Ted Williams, Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, Wille Mays, Hank Aaron and Stan Musial. Heaps of other HOFers and front rank stars do their part in adding considerable value to this vintage volume, which reports in (NM) condition, with the original dust jacket nicely preserved in a plastic cover. Some of the many other notables are Sandy Koufax, Warren Spahn, Bob Feller, Rich Ashburn, Dom DiMaggio, Yogi Berra, Al Kaline, Frank Robinson, Brooks Robinson, Ernie Banks, Harmon Killebrew, Rocky Colavito, Ralph Kiner, Eddie Mathews, Billy Martin, Whitey Ford, Willie McCovey, Johnny Mize, Phil Rizzuto, Bob Gibson, Jimmy Piersall, and newly elected Minnie Minoso, who enters the Hall this Summer. Signature strength is all you could ask for, averaging ("9-10") potency, with the bold autographs signed in blue felt-tip pen. Auction LOA from JSA.
