Rawlings Official American League Baseball. Hand-signed and inscribed by Sparky Anderson (D. 2010, Detroit Tigers, HOF). Please note, the baseball is naturally toning and stained. This baseball is inscribed with "2158" commemorating Anderson's career managerial wins, at the time tying him with Buck Harris as the third all-time leader in wins. By the end of his illustrious career, Anderson had accumulated 2,194 wins solidifying his place among the most successful managers in Major League Baseball history.

Sparky Anderson is celebrated for his managerial success with both the Cincinnati Reds and the Detroit Tigers. He is one of the few managers to win the World Series in both the National League and the American League, securing titles in 1975 and 1976 with the Reds and in 1984 with the Tigers. His induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2000 is a testament to his profound impact on the sport.
