Roy Campanella Signed ONL Baseball with Bold Sweet-Spot Signature (JSA)

Rawlings Official National League baseball has been hand-signed by Dodgers legend, Roy Campanella!

Roy Campanella, a pioneering figure in baseball, is celebrated for his extraordinary talent and resilience both on and off the field. A key player for the Brooklyn Dodgers, Campanella's career spanned from 1948 to 1957, during which he earned eight All-Star selections and won the National League MVP award three times (1951, 1953, 1955). His powerful hitting and exceptional defensive skills as a catcher were instrumental in leading the Dodgers to five National League pennants and their first World Series title in 1955. Beyond his on-field achievements, Campanella's legacy is profoundly marked by his role in breaking racial barriers in Major League Baseball, being one of the first African American players to excel at the highest level of the sport. His career was tragically cut short by a car accident in 1958 that left him paralyzed, but his impact on baseball endured, earning him a well-deserved induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1969.

The autograph includes an official James Spence Authentication (JSA) hologram and matching LOA for authenticity purposes.
