Jackie Robinson and Gil Hodges were inextricably linked as players and men. Teammates for Jackie's entire ten-year career with the Brooklyn Dodgers (1947-56), they won the 1955 World Series together and have 14 All-Star appearances between them. Gil started out at catcher before moving to first base. Jackie started at first base before moving to second and third. Hodges played his last game in 1963 before putting on the skipper jersey for another nine years with the Senators and Amazin' Mets (including the '69 Miracle Mets). Both are members of the Baseball Hall of Fame, both died very young in 1972, and both have signed this baseball here.
This dual-signed combination is a true rarity and certainly the first we have ever handled. The Rawlings Official League baseball (EX-NM) dating to the 1960s features both signatures in bold blue ballpoint pen on the same panel for ideal display. Jackie rates 7.5/10 and Hodges 7/10 in our opinion. Includes LOAs from PSA/DNA and JSA for the autographs.
