Moderately and evenly toned E.Barnard American League baseball signed across the sweet spot by Hall of Fame catcher Mickey Cochrane in black fountain pen. Signature rates 7 out of 10 with just a touch of additional wear to a few letters. Cochrane is almost universally regarded as the greatest hitting catcher in MLB history ending his career with a .320 mark. His presence as a key pillar in Connie Mack's 1920-30s era dynasty with the Philadelphia Athletics is noted with batting averages of .331, .357, and .349 from 1929-31. One of only two Cochrane single signature baseballs we have encountered with highly uncommon dating to the prime of his Hall of Fame career. Includes full LOA from PSA/DNA (NM): Ball :VG-EX, Signature: EX/MT-NM
