Significant autographed Sports Illustrated cover featuring Mickey Mantle Willie Mays and Peter Uberroth. This cover dated March 25 1985 celebrated the return of Mantle and Mays to Baseball after both had been banned from the game by then commissioner Bowie Kuhn. Mantle and Mays each accepted jobs with Atlantic City casinos as good-will ambassadors. Violating in Kuhn's mind baseballs no gambling policy. When Peter Uberroth assumed the duties of commissioner he welcomed Mays and Mantle back to the game without acknowledging that Kuhn's decision was wrong. All three cover boys have signed in blue sharpie. LOA from PSA/DNA (Sig. Grades: Mantle 10 Uberroth 10 Mays 9).
