“Through 30 years as a baseball leader, he brought the game integrity, dedication and a happy tranquility,” said Commissioner Bowie Kuhn of Ford Frick. Frick retired after two seven-year terms in the commissioner’s office in 1965. In 1970, he was fittingly elected as a member of the Hall of Fame, a museum he helped to create 31 years before. The Museum presented its first annual Ford C. Frick Award, given to broadcasters for major contributions to baseball, in 1978. This ONL (Frick) baseball served to accept the autograph of its endorser, the venerable Ford C. Frick. The sweet spot signatures rates 7/10 in black ink. The ball itself is medium toned with moderate general soiling. A very attractive example of a scarce and important HOF single. COA from PSA/DNA.
