From 1965 to 1969, three of the greatest Japanese Hall of Fame players to ever don spikes were teammates with the Yomiuri Giants--Sadaharu Oh (upper left), Shigeo Nagashima (upper right) and Masaichi Kaneda (lower left). The greatest player of the previous generation was their manager--Tetsuharu Kawakami (lower right). It is not surprising that starting in 1965, when Kaneda came to the Giants from the Swallows, the Giants, spearheaded by these four immortals, won the Japan Series championship for 9 consecutive seasons. This Yomiuri Giants ball (possibly game used) was signed by all four in black marker.

Size: Regular baseball size

Condition: The signatures range from 7 to 9 out of 10 in boldness. The Oh and Kaneda signatures have a few minor surface scrapes. The ball is used.
