1957

Charming design features a large diamond at the center, set within baseball field motif which has smaller stones accenting each base position. "Milwaukee World Champions" is lettered around the beveled edge. One shank bears a relief of the Braves team logo with "1957" year noted below. Opposite has "W. Matthews" name atop "Braves" name and "Scout" is noted along the bottom. Marked "Balfour 14K" on the interior band. Resized to size 10 with a hint of light wear and weighs 34 grams. The smaller stones at base positions are likely replacements as non-player rings were typically issued with Rubies. The 1957 Braves won 95 games to claim the American League pennant and would face New York in the World Series. It took a full seven games for Hank Aaron and crew to defeat the Yankees marking the first time since 1948 that a team not based in New York City earned the title of Champions: EX/MT
