ADDENDUM: Heading updated from catalog. This is the ball Frank Robinson hit for career home run #123.
Presented here is one of Frank Robinson's 586 career home run baseballs from the Cincinnati Reds' August 11, 1959 home game at Crosley Field vs. the Milwaukee Braves. This game-used ONL (Giles) baseball was knocked out of the park by the Cincinnati Reds slugger off fellow Hall of Fame hurler Warren Spahn for Robinson's 123rd career long ball to that point. Robinson has signed the ball on the sweet spot in near perfect 9-10/10 looking blue ball point pen with the added inscriptions "HR #123" and "8/11/59 Crosley Field". His Reds teammate Whitey Lockman has also signed in 5-6/10 blue ink on the other side. It's not every day a home run ball from a member of the 500 Club hits the auction block.
Includes MEARS LOA for the game use. Autographs pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
