ONL(Giles) baseball attributed to being the one thrown out for the ceremonial first pitch of the 1967 World Series at Busch Stadium in St. Louis by former Cardinals Billy Southworth and Frank Frisch. Included is a short letter that reads "Billy Southworth & Frankie Frisch were given the honor of throwing out the first ball at this series. They were the only two living managers who had won world series as managers of the Cards. Mrs Billy Southworth". This note was found inside Billy Southworth's own World Series program to the 1967 World Series, which is included with the ball. Program is in pretty nice condition. Ball itself appears to be very worn.(Perhaps played with by children later on)
LOA from Southworth's daughter going into detail about the ball, her mother's note, and the program.
