The 1963 Los Angeles Dodgers boasted one of the greatest lineups in history. Led by manager Walter Alston, the Dodgers finished the regular season with a record of 99-63 to win the National league pennant a full six games ahead of the runner-up St. Louis Cardinals. With Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale on the hill, Los Angeles was able to stifle their opposition’s bats while tallying just enough runs to get the win. In the World Series vs. the vaunted New York Yankees, the Dodgers swept the Bronx Bombers with Koufax (two wins) and Drysdale (Game 3 winner) leading the way. This high grade 1963 Los Angeles Dodgers team-signed baseball includes 26 individual signatures in black ink from that season including both Alston and former Dodgers manager and then-coach Leo Durocher sharing the sweet spot. Other notable signatures are from Hall of Famers Koufax and Drysdale, along with standouts Maury Wills, Johnny Podres, Bill “Moose” Skowron, Ron Fairly, Ron Perranoski, Tommie David, Willie Davis and Frank Howard. All signatures are strong and rate 8-9/10. A terrific keepsake for any Dodgers’ fan and/or baseball historian.

Includes Letter of Authenticity from the Skowron Family.
