Lot #657 # Johnny Keane Cond: 9

Johnny Keane was the manager of the 1964 St. Louis Cardinals that defeated the Yankees in the World Series. The 1964 NL pennant chase was among the most exciting ever, Keane was apparently going to be fired just before the Cardinals got hot. After defeating the last Mantle-led Yankee team to make the World Series, Keane submitted his resignation to the Cardinals and enacted revenge. Keane only lasted into the 1966 season and he died in 1967 at only age 55. Single signed balls of him are utterly unheard of. Offered is a clean and very solid Spalding ONL Giles model ball. Keane signed this in bold and large blue ballpoint ink, the signature contrasts perfectly against the ball. This has everything going for it: true rarity, condition and it is needed by virtually every Cardinal and Yankee single signed ball collector! Happy bidding. JSA LOA (full).

Winning bid: $700.00
