The Milwaukee Braves repeated as National League champions in 1958, finishing 92–62 under manager Fred Haney. Powered by Hank Aaron’s MVP-caliber season and Eddie Mathews’ slugging, Milwaukee led the NL in home runs and featured dominant pitching from Warren Spahn and Lew Burdette. The Braves defeated the Dodgers to clinch the pennant but fell to the Yankees in a hard-fought seven-game World Series, narrowly missing back-to-back championships.
29 Signatures that we’d rate an average of 7 out of 10 on a Wilson Ted Williams “Speed Ball.” The ball itself looks almost brand new.
