    Description

    This is an OFFICIAL NATIONAL LEAGUE (Coleman) Baseball signed by 1980 World Series Champion and former Astros, Cubs and Phillies outfielder GREG GROSS in blue pen.  The signature rates a 6/10 due to fading.  The ball itself is moderately toned and spotted throughout.  Please look at pictures for further detail.  I am happy to send/post more pictures upon request, if needed.
    DID YOU KNOW?
    Both in 1986 and in 1989, Gross was called to the pitcher's mound during blowouts. On June 8,
    1986
    , Gross pitched the final two-thirds of the eighth inning in a 12-0 Phillies loss to the
    Montreal Expos
    . Gross gave up a double to
    Andrés Galarraga
    , and then struck out
    Casey Candaele
    and
    Herm Winningham
    to end the rout.
    And on May 21,
    1989
    , Gross took the mound in the ninth inning of what wound up being a 17-5 loss by the Astros to the
    Pittsburgh Pirates
    . In that game, Gross had relieved shortstop
    Craig Reynolds
    , who had pitched the eighth inning. In the ninth inning, Gross gave up three hits and two earned runs. However, he also struck out
    José Lind
    swinging.
    "The worst part is how close you are to the batter after you throw the ball," Gross told the
    Sporting News
    in its June 5, 1989 issue. "I throw batting practice, but you've got the screen. I was looking for a way to sneak the screen out there."
    This ball was originally purchased through a reputable auction house and I will GUARANTEE THE AUTHENTICITY of the signature with a FULL money back promise if PSA or JSA happens to think otherwise.  I have been collecting, buying and selling baseball autographs for close to 40 years and am considered an expert in the field.  Take a look at the photos, consider my 100% POSITIVE feedback and BID WITH CONFIDENCE.  Please also take a look at my other auctions for more great signed baseballs!
    I price ALL of my baseballs to SELL...usually lower priced than all other comparable balls on eBay at the time of listing (seriously...check it out!).  I do list with a "Best Offer" option as again, I am here to SELL these balls, even though I feel my initial pricing is fair.  If you have a reasonable amount in mind, please send an offer.  Worst thing that could happen is for me to decline the offer.  If I counter the offer, it means we're close...let's work together to make it happen.  Thanks for looking!  Brandon
