Description: This is an OFFICIAL LEAGUE Baseball signed by former Phillies and Dodgers catcher and former Pirates, Indians and Braves manager BOBBY BRAGAN in black pen. The signature rates a 9/10. The ball itself is lightly toned throughout. Please look at pictures for further detail. I am happy to send/post more pictures upon request, if needed. DID YOU KNOW? Bragan had clashed with Rickey in 1947 over the Dodgers' breaking of the baseball color line after the big-league debut of Jackie Robinson. Bragan — the Dodgers' second-string catcher at the time — was one of a group of white players, largely from the American South, who signed a petition against Robinson's presence. He even asked Rickey to trade him. But Bragan quickly relented. "After just one road trip, I saw the quality of Jackie the man and the player", Bragan told mlb.com in 2005. "I told Mr. Rickey I had changed my mind and I was honored to be a teammate of Jackie Robinson." When Bragan attended Rickey's funeral in 1965, he stated that he decided to attend because, "Branch Rickey made me a better man." Bragan died in 2010 at age 92. This ball was originally purchased through a reputable auction house and I will GUARANTEE THE AUTHENTICITY of the signature with a FULL money back promise if PSA or JSA happens to think otherwise. I have been collecting, buying and selling baseball autographs for close to 40 years and am considered an expert in the field. Take a look at the photos, consider my 100% POSITIVE feedback and BID WITH CONFIDENCE. Please also take a look at my other auctions for more great signed baseballs! I price ALL of my baseballs to SELL...usually lower priced than all other comparable balls on eBay at the time of listing (seriously...check it out!). I do list with a "Best Offer" option as again, I am here to SELL these balls, even though I feel my initial pricing is fair. If you have a reasonable amount in mind, please send an offer. Worst thing that could happen is for me to decline the offer. If I counter the offer, it means we're close...let's work together to make it happen. Thanks for looking! Brandon
