1960 Columbus Team Ball Signed by 3 Deceased Members of the 1960 Pittsburgh Pirates.
Lot 17. 1960 Columbus Team Ball Signed by 3 Deceased Members of the 1960 Pittsburgh Pirates. Official International League baseball autographed by Jim Umbricht (died 1964), Diomedes Olivio (d. 1977) and Tom Cheney (d. 2001). The Columbus Jets were the Pirates’ AAA farm team. Among members of the Pirates’ championship team, the signatures of Umbricht and Olivio are perhaps the two most difficult to obtain. The ball is signed also by Larry Shepard, the Jets’ manager, Roman Mejias, Bobby Veale (unusual form), Charlie Leonard, Jack Lamabe, Al McBean, Donn Clendennon, John Schaive, Ed Spezio, Don Rowe, Tom Parsons, Don Leppert, Larry Elliott, Al Jackson, Dick Gray and John Powers. Excep-tionally clean ball with very readable stampings showing moderate wear. The autographs in green ballpoint are generally 8s with some less. Authenticated by Kevin Keating.
Winning Bid $200.
