Gerald Ford, Baseball Signed

Description

Offering a baseball signed by Gerald Ford. 

Gerald Ford grew up in Michigan and was a Tigers fan. While serving as a Congressman in 1948, Ford showed “exceptional baseball talent” on the congressional baseball team. In 1949, he played catcher on the Republican team in the annual Republican/Democratic game, and in the 1957 contest, he hit an inside-the-park grand slam home run.

While President, Ford attended two major league games. He threw out the first pitch for the Texas Rangers opener against the Minnesota Twins on April 9, 1976, and at that year’s All-Star Game at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia, PA.

During his time in the White House, he also signed a bill allowing girls to play Little League baseball. (Our thanks to the Baseball Reference Bull Pen).

Excellent-Clean and bright-obviously never use for play!
