Reach OAL baseball signed by 26 members of the 1966 Minnesota Twins, presented in its original mailing box, sent from Ray Crump, equipment manager of the Minnesota Twins, to FR Woods, a family business right next door to the Baseball Hall of Fame.  The ball is in outstanding condition, though some of the signatures have faded, or had the ink spread a bit on the baseball.  Though the accompanying LOA from James Spence Authentication identifies the ball as 1967-68, the ball contains signatures of Johnny Klippstein and Pete Cimino, neither of whom played with the Twins after 1966. 

Signatures include Sam Mele (Mgr - SS), Andy Kosco, Bob Allison, Don Mincher, Klippstein, Ron Keller, Cesar Tovar, Jim Grant, Tony Oliva (HOF), Johnny Sain (coach), Jim Merritt, Bernie Allen, Jim Lemon (coach), Earl Battey, Ted Uhlaender, Dwight Siebler, Pete Cimino, Jerry Zimmerman, Russ Nixon, Jim Kaat (HOF), Harmon Killebrew (HOF)Jimmie Hall, Al Worthington, Hal Naragon (coach), Jim Perry, Bill Pleis, and one illegible.  Full LOA from James Spence Authentication.
