Widely considered two of the best pitchers to hit the diamond, Dizzy Dean & Satchel Paige wouldn't cross paths much in their career. Dean was so impressed by Paige he would go to say after an exhibition game against each other "My fastball looks like a change of pace alongside that pistol bullet old Satch shoots up to the plate,If Satch and I were pitching on the same team, we'd clinch the pennant by the fourth of July and go fishing until World Series time." Together on the south panel of this baseball lies both Paige & Dean. It's unclear where this ball sourced from, but to our knowledge a ball with Dean/Paige side by side on a panel has never been offered before this sphere. Also accompanying the two greats are: Milt Pappas,Ron Reed, Bob Tilman ,Bob Johnson, Ken Johnson, Mike Lum, Bob Didier & others. Auction-style LOA from James Spence Authentication (JSA).
