Through their first seven seasons, the New York Mets endured what was far and away the most woeful stretch in baseball history. Their resumé reads as follows: five last-place finishes, two ninth-place finishes and five seasons of 100-plus losses. Then, overnight, the 1969 version logged 100 regular-season triumphs, proceeded to sweep the Atlanta Braves in the first-ever NLCS and disposed of the heavily favored Baltimore Orioles in relatively easy fashion in the World Series. Offered here for your bidding consideration is a Spalding Official National League (Feeney) ball signed by 26 principals of that "Miracle Mets" squad. This clean and creamy sphere is decorated with black ballpoint scriptings that project mostly “7" in overall strength. Included are: Yogi Berra, Nolan Ryan, Tom Seaver, McGraw, Swoboda, Koosman, Gentry, Grote, & Garrett. The Gil Hodges signature has been deemed a common stamp.In fine condition with scattered toning. See images for details. Accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity from PSA/DNA.
