Clean and bright Spalding ONL (Giles) baseball, signed by 24 members of the 1961 St. Louis Cardinals.  The signatures have been applied in a variety of ink, the signatures remaining legible and clear, though slightly faded (some more so than others).  The baseball was signed after July of 1961, hence the presence of Johnny Keane on the sweet spot.  Keane took over as Manager of the Cardinals on July 6 of that season.  Other signatures include Carl Sawatski, Ernie Broglio, Craig Anderson, Ed Olivares, Curt Flood, Bob Gibson (HOF), Bill White, Lindy McDaniel, Julian Javier, Curt Simmons, Red Schoendienst (HOF), Joe Cunningham, Ken Boyer, Ray Sadecki, Bob Lillis, Alex Grammas, Charlie James, Don Taussig, Jimmie Schaffer, Al Cicotte, Vern Benson, and Stan Musial (HOF).  Full LOA from James Spence Authentication.
