Dwight D Eisenhower President Signed for Mickey Harris Baseball Beckett 191825

Offered is an Official American League baseball signed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower while he attended a game at Griffith Stadium in Washington, D.C. between the Nationals and the Boston Red Sox on April 18, 1946. On that day, however, he was GENERAL Dwight D. Eisenhower, leader of our victorious Allied Armies in World War II. Sox starting pitcher Mickey Harris was able to approach the General while he sat in the "President's" box that day, and Eisenhower boldly signed the ball across the sweetspot. Harris neatly recorded the date and location just above on the side panel "4-18-46 Wash. D.C." The signature was very strongly applied, but there is some damage from poor storage to the last few letters. Furthermore, the ball was shellacked for preservation and is heavily toned. That said, this is a magnificent example of Eisenhower on a baseball. Accompanied by an LOA from Beckett Authentic. Very Good to Excellent condition.
