And just by his incredible actions, his selflessness brought the races closer together and shaped the dreams of an entire generation. Offered is a single-signed Spalding ONL (Giles) ball signed by Robinson in black pen on the south panel and inscribed "Best Wishes." The ball itself is in a remarkable Near Mint (trong>PSA/DNA Graded 8) condition. PSA/DNA also declared the signature the highest ever graded on a baseball at a trong>"9." The subgrades are: Signature 9, Baseball 8, Overall 8.5. Accompanying the ball and reinforcing his ideals, is a ticket from a NAACP Annual Freedom Banquet event held at the Mint Hotel in Las Vegas (February 17, 1967). He made an appearance at the dinner and subsequently signed the ball.
