A member of the legendary Dodger squads, then the skipper for the Miracle Mets, Hodges certainly left his mark on the game during his tenure. Despite the fame, he was a very reluctant signer, enough so that this offering is our second ever such single signed sphere by the Mets manager. This Official National League sphere has been signed by Hodges, a gift for personalized for United States Motors, adding a full "Gil Hodges" autograph to the side panel. A rarity on their own, this inscribed example is sure to triumph most if any Hodges sphere headlined by the exceptionally bold signature! Overall in fine condition with discoloration & the inscriptions not in the hand of Hodges. Authenticated by James Spence Authentication (JSA) with a full letter of authenticity.
