The first member of the exclusive 4,000 Hit Club has left his mark on this OAL Harridge baseball in blue ink on the side panel. Ty Cobb, or "The Georgia Peach," is unquestionably one of the top 10 players of all time, and certainly near the top of that list. Setting 90 major league records while he played, many of these remain intact, including highest lifetime batting average (.367) and most career batting titles with 12. Cobb remains one of the most highly collected players in the history of the sport. This Reach baseball features nothing short of a stunning Ty Cobb signature on the side panel. Ford Frick signed the sweet spot, also in blue ballpoint pen, with Cobb displaying as a single-signed if the winning bidder prefers. Both signatures present in "9" strength and the ball has virtually no toning with both signatures authenticated by JSA with a full LOA. This impressive single-signed sphere will be a welcome addition to any high-end baseball collection.
