This is an OFFICIAL MAJOR LEAGUE (Selig) Baseball signed by 1953 All Star, 1954 World Series Champion and former NY Giants 2nd baseman DAVEY WILLIAMS in blue pen. The signature rates an 8.5/10. The ball itself is lightly toned throughout. Please look at pictures for further detail. I am happy to send/post more pictures upon request, if needed.DID YOU KNOW?
Williams's playing career was cut short when he was never able to fully recover after injuring his back in a collision with
Jackie Robinson
as Williams covered first base on Robinson bunt. Robinson later said that his intended target on the play had actually been Giant pitcher
Sal Magli
e
. Maglie had angered Brooklyn by throwing several pitches high and inside on hitters, so Robinson had bunted specifically looking for the opportunity to crash into Maglie on the play. However, Maglie didn't cover first base as Robinson had expected, so instead, it was Williams who took the brunt of Robinson's charge.
Williams died in 2009 at age 81.
This ball comes with a PSA COA card and sticker affixed to the ball.
