This Spalding ONL Ford Frick baseball is signed on the sweet spot by Mel Ott. The signature is written in black fountain pen. Ott is arguably the toughest single-signed ball from the 500 Home Run Club, and this one presents as a single, but has had multiple signatures removed. Ott made the right field bleachers of the Polo Grounds his personal landing pad for twenty-two seasons and this incredibly rare artifact is made even better by the fact that he's on the sweet spot. The ball arrives with a full LOA from BAS, detailing the signature removals.
