Six games above .500 meant a sixth place finish for the 1963 Milwaukee Braves. While most baseballs age over time, this ONL (Giles) is as minty as the day it was created.
Thirty members of the '63 Braves signed this fine specimen in ballpoint ink. The deep blue signatures resonate off the snow white exterior. Those who signed include: Del Crandall, Warren Spahn, Dan Schneider, Amado Samuel, Denis Menke, Tony Cloninger, Gus Bell, Frank Bolling, Joe Torre, Roy McMillan, Claude Raymond, Lou Johnson, Eddie Mathews, Tommie Aaron, Les Gabrielson, Bob Hendley, Denny Lemaster, Hank Fischer, Ron Piche, Bobby Bragan (deemed clubhouse by JSA), Lou Burdette, Ty Cline, Bob Shaw and Frank Funk.
The ball is linked to '63 because it includes Frank Funk, who only appeared with the Braves in '63.
