Moderately toned C.Feeney National League baseball with evident "mudding" from game preparation signed across a side panel, "#730 Best Wishes To Tom House, Hank Aaron". Blue ink signature and inscription were signed in the period and rate 8 out of 10. By the end of the 1974 season Hank Aaron was certainly aware that his incredible career was nearing its end. Aaron belted home run #730 during an August 19, 1974 game played in Atlanta between the Braves and the visiting St. Louis Cardinals. The inscription on the baseball and related presentation to House may well be due to gratitude from Aaron for House famously catching the record setting 715th home run. Tom House was a relief pitcher who was positioned perfectly in the Braves bullpen as home run #715 sailed towards him on that historic night. Although House only made $15,000 a year playing for the Braves the ball had numerous bounties on it for the lucky recipient. House ignored the potential revenue he could have received and returned the ball to Aaron on the field after he hit #715. Very desirable Aaron home run baseball which is one of the highest numeric total of his 744 total home runs to be offered publicly. Includes full LOA from PSA/DNA: Ball: EX, Signature: NM
